The Ancient City The Pantheon T

*Unfortunately this is a short post, but our last few days were spent buying souvenirs and thus were a bit less exciting than some other things we've done... We arrived in Rome after our drive from Siena to sweltering heat. After a harrowing jou...

The Six of Us The Road to Lornano San Gimignano The Sunflower Field The Villa

Tuscany has held a special place in my heart ever since I visited for the first time with my family ten years ago. It is an almost mythical place; a countryside filled with endless sunflower fields, rolling hills, cypress trees in unimaginable str...

Bologna Firenze Duomo

I should probably begin this post by recounting a bit of the ferry ride between Split, Croatia and Ancona, Italy. First of all, Wes was insistent that we spend a bit of extra money so that we can sleep comfortably on the overnight trip. We ended ...

The seaside promenade Hvar from above Dubrovnik Grand finale! A beautiful Croatian scene

Wes and I flew into Croatia via an entire day of traveling from Venice. We had to fly through Rome and had a six hour layover which proved to be an ample opportunity to catch up on all our reading. Anyway, when we finally arrived in Split the su...

On the Grand Canal Gondola Ride Piazza San Marco

There is little that I could say about Venice that hasn’t already been said. Beautiful? Check. Unique? Yup. Jam-packed with tourists? Everywhere. And as much as I loved the city for what it is, I couldn’t help being a little disappointed. I know, ...

Looking out over the sea The Beach in Monterosso The Birds! Via Del Amore Vernazza (I think) Corniglia

Italy at long last! This is the country I’ll be leaving from, in just three more weeks. I can’t believe I’m back in a place where I can speak the language – though the amount of English we heard in Cinque Terre was a bit of a downer. Regardless, i...

Note: Sorry, but this is a very long entry. It’s mostly because I want to remember everything and wanted to get it all down before it gets lost forever. Also, I apologize but I don’t have time to write in photo titles. I’ll try and fill them in wh...

Wes and I arrived in Athens to sweltering, record-breaking heat. It honestly felt like being hit in the face with a hair dryer. Of course, that didn’t take away from how much fun we had there! Upon meeting Viv and her mom Vicky, We promptly got ...

Piano on the street!? Bratislava town square Schloss Schunbrunn

Our last stop before our "vacation within a vacation” in Greece was Vienna. We were lucky to be able to stay with a friend from college, Nick, who has an apartment in the city and has been living there for about four months. The oppressive heat wa...
