Amalfi Coast, Naples, & Pompeii
Naples My ancestors are from Naples. From what I am told, there are some very nice spots in Naples, however, I have yet to find them. Seriously, I have visited Naples several times now and absolutely can’t stand it. Silvia’s cousins keep telling us they will take us around and show us the nice parts, but that […]

Rome, Italy
April 19, 2011
Rome is an amazing city. However, I personally prefer to be elsewhere in Italy and only spend 2, maybe 3 days here. Rome is definitely a big city with a lot going on. If you aren’t careful, similar to NY, you will be run over and the driver wont think twice about it. Conversely, once […]

Mountains, mountains, and more mountains. Interlaken is a very small town, but has some of the most beautiful natural scenery I have ever visited. Interlaken is known for its adventure sports, i.e. bungee jumping, rafting, canyoning, paragliding, and skiing. I went here with Chris Bottoni, a great travel partner. We got to Interlaken by taking […]

Brugge, Belgium

Belgium, I know what your thinking, do they really have Belgium waffles. The answer is yes and they are delicious. There are several options for sauces, i.e. powdered sugar, honey, syrup, etc… My favorite town in Belgium is Bruges. It is a small and very navigable city and really makes you feel as if you […]

Sardinia, Italy
March 29, 2011
Sardinia doesn’t feel like Italy at all. However, I would highly suggest visiting. Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean behind Sicily. It’s landscape was beautiful and reminded me a lot of Greece in that it’s water was a beautiful turquoise and was somewhat barren. Sardinians speak with a heavy dialect and even Silvia had trouble […]

Beautiful Portugal
December 5, 2010
This past summer we finally made a trip to Portugal. My brother in-law is from there so we have discussed visiting there for some time now. We went in mid August and the weather was great! It was sunny and warm each day. We stayed in my brother in-law’s home which is located in the […]
