Throwing back to last November when we day tripped to Slovenia from Italy.
Day Trip: Gorizia to Ljubljana, Slovenia
Firenze in February
Meeting my old roommate from Florence back again in the city we lived is the best time ever. A weekend is never long enough. The weather in February is surprisingly nice and sunny, especially coming from grey and cold Germany. We flew with a connection in Munich this time and Air Dolomiti was a new... Continue Reading →
Roma for New Years
Buon Anno da Roma! After a long haul back from the U.S. with one day of work in between, we had planned Rome a while back knowing our friends from Cali would also be in Europe again this New Year's Eve. We had met them for the first time at New Year's in Barcelona and it was... Continue Reading →

To be in Italy in an hour
Our view at Villa Jessica, found on airbnb in Sala Comacina. Breakfast each morning da me, Cornetti con marmellata from the local grocery store bakery, italian peaches are the best you will ever eat, blood orange juice, doppio espresso lungo and eggs with Prosciutto di San Daniele. Per-fect. Since I have absolutely no time off... Continue Reading →
