Casa Masoli Ravenna

... we were glad when we arrived in Rimini.

It rained the first few days we were here, but the past 2 days of sunshine have made up for it! Our hostel has great rooms but a really awful atmosphere, so we were so glad when the sun came out and we could spend all day at the beach, or in the town. Relaxing in the sun is just what we've needed! I'm still embarrassingly white though. I'd even call it offensively white. It's going to take more than 2 days of sun to bring me even to human ...

... end of the road! Depending if it's my morning or afternoon shift, I'll either have a few chores to do around the yard, or might wander into the village, sit on the terrace and read, or have a siesta which is pretty much mandatory daily occurrence! It's peaceful. It's tranquil. And it is so real, grass roots and down-home county! I'm sure it is good for this city girl to try out life without my daily latte and manicured nails! We work outside once it starts to get cooler, working the ...

... architecture, the winding cobble stone streets, the wine, the beauty, the shops, the Vatican, the pantheon...OMG! I could get lost in a total love affair with Roma and never come back!

My hostel mate was a fella from Sicily who I called Lee because I could never seem to remember his full name. He was a young philosophy student with a rather stoic quiet demeanor, typical of the deep philosophic types, complete with brooding eyes, dark glasses and a ...

We got to Rimini later that night after Pompeii. It was another 6 hour drive so again we were exhausted. We checked into the hotel and it was perfect. Nicer than the last one we were at. We had booked in advance for the night and the rate was 30eros cheaper than the next night so we (I) thought we would just get there and tell them we wanted another night at the same price. Unfortunately they played me harder than I played them and said they had no availability ...

... four other football players, and various other people we couldn’t. After we finished I laid on a bench in defeat.

After LeLe’s we went to Alex Erioldi’s family apartment in a high rise above the beach in Ravenna. There were two bedrooms, Gallina and his girlfriend were in one, Forlei and Alex were on the couch and I was on the bunk bed in Ciba and Christina’s room (they had a queen size mattress). Christina told me to sleep on ...

... as the bikes were not fully restored and were housed in a 2 level building on what seemed to be this mans home land. The smell of oil covered the place and we saw some very old bikes including Guzzis. Wayne loved it as the bikes were in original conditions , cleaned but not restored. While we there someone turned up and the man turned him away saying the museum was closed and when he saw us the man said we had a special entry because we were from ...

Mi sono innamorata di Italia quando ero molto piccola e mio cugino, che studiava medicina a Siena, mi ha dato un album di litfiba. Come passavano gli anni ho preso diversi corsi d'italiano in una prova di imparare la lingua.
Quando avevo 15 anni i miei genitori hanno deciso che facciamo il giro di Italia. Firenze era la citta che ha rubato i miei impressioni.
Dopo molti anni, il 2007, ho preso la decisione di andare per un paio di mesi a Milano per ...

... naval base on the Adriatic. The churches, adorned with the finest mosaics ever made, were built around 450. The days after Honorius moved the capital of the Western Empire here in 402 were Ravenna´s best. A trademark of Ravenna´s churches is the campanile. Every church has a beautiful bell tower and almost all mirror the same style. Other churches in northern Italy have campaniles but I never was able to find out why every church in Ravenna has one. 7/27 I ...

... venice, trying to take it easy. when i use days off to go on day trips, it is a lot of fun but really wears me out. work has been wearing me out as well, so i decided that today and tomorrow i will simply do things in venice. i bought a chorus pass today, which allows me to get into 16 churches for only 5 euros :) (it's so good to be a studentessa.) i bought it at chiesa di san stefano, so i got to see the paintings and sacristy there. i think italy is going ...
