Hello Venice

Our friends drove us from Ljubljana, Slovenia to Venice, Italy and we began the next stage of our adventure.

Hiking the Julian Alps

We hiked 8.5 miles through the alps in Slovenia and had a spectacular day.

We spent the day on the Russian Road, enjoying its sights and conscious of its tragedies.

Slovenia is not known for its beaches, but the waterfront in Piran is exceptional.

Road trips are more fun when you stop for a meeting. Especially when you aren’t the one who has to be in the meeting.

I have something in common with Pope Pius II: we are both impressed with big trout.

This area was occupied by the Etruscans until their assimilation with Rome by 27 BCE.

Ostia Antica is an excellent opportunity to study what things must have been like in Rome.

We calculated that we had been awake (or poorly dozing here and there) for around 31 hours before we had access to a bed.
