Italy

  • Living Slow: The End is Nigh: All through the piazza echoed an old-fashioned preaching-to, with words ebbing and flowing that were mostly incomprehensible to me, except for the repeated refrain of the Italian equivalent of “The end is nigh.” I couldn’t help thinking, don’t I know it.

Italy

  • Bus Travel in Rome and Florence: You can save quite a bit of money getting around in Italian cities by using the bus instead of taxis, whose minimum fare is often as much as three bus tickets.

Italy

  • Living Slow: Predictable Unpredictability: Once we settled in, find our way around, explored a little, and figure out the local customs, we quickly found that the driving is crazier, the accent is thicker, and the coffee is something to swoon over.
  • Best People Places in Room: Savoring the best people places, the piazzas and fountains, to experience the essence of Rome.
  • Acqui Terme: The nicest city in Italy.

USA

  • Vermont: Mad River Valley: Wintertime in the area, especially Warren and Waitsfield where you will find Sugarbush and Mad River Glen Ski areas.

Italy
