Here we are for our next romantic stop, I name Florence. We spent a last night in Venice...out of the bus from Cortina late afternoon, and next morning on the train to Florence. So last easy local dinner in Venice before our next stop.

Yay! Greetings from London! I am back from an amazing trip around New England, USA.

The parks greatest asset is skyline drive- 105 miles Read on...

This is a Buddhist country, and the biggest festival is Tet, the Lunar New Year, which Read on...
