Admiral Palace Rimini

As we drove closer to San Marino, we all started saying, "Did she REALLY say "the NATION" of San Marino?? And that's exactly what it was: It's full title is "The Republic of San Marino". John will do doubt tell you of its history. It's set high on a mountain, with the most glorious view and was yet another treasure chest waiting to be opened for us! It was our nicest hotel by far - VERY upmarket! - and it was exciting to follow the ...

... 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 ...

... besichtigt, die Basilika und einen Spazi**gang durch die engen Gässchen d** Stadt. Kleine Mitbringsel gekauft - und dann nach "Abstieg" zum Parkplatz
Abfahrt Richtung Me**.

Wollte schaun ob ich das Jugendheim wied** finde in dem ich vor 38 Jahren 3 Wochen als Nichtschwimm**, nicht Sonnenbegeist**t**.... jeden Tag am Strand v**bringen musste - und so manche and**e "lustige" und ...

... the world) it was one of the more enjoyable and relaxing days we have had. Also pretty funny was when we went grocery shopping they actually had their own vats of wine in the store but funnier than that was when Jen got caught by the armed security gaurd taking a photo and he started ranting in Italian at her. Not much else to say just a real different kind of beach town that has a historic center. Very relaxing and fun. Now it is off to Verona the next morning...

... There is the most incredible sheen to them; some are from the 3rd - 4th centuries AD, and yet they look like they were created yesterday. Pretty much everything else in Europe has been - as Mat so delicately puts it - "covered in cherubs and gilt!", and it's unexpected to find a place so untouched through the Renaissance.

Next time we will make a few days for this lovely town.

... a post. I tell Reggie to line up in the backfield with me then to, “swing left and kind of hangout.” My hope was that I’d be able to hold the ball, buy time look down the field to the right then get the ball to Reggie. We had 65 yards to cover and one play to do it. I can’t throw it that far, and we haven’t had a pass play that long all season. Reggie is the one guy who can score from 65 yards out, so he is my only realistic possibility ...

... the staff were really friendly and helpful. The Theatre was weird, kind of in the middle of nowhere, a large basketball arena attached to some other massive, factory like buildings pretty ugly. The one big thing that really did stand out here were the audiences. It was like they were just waiting, nay longing, to be entertained and were clapping, laughing and dancing ...

... photos and memorabilia of Rossi’s career and along with the other geeks we checked it all out. Across the road was the Official Rossi Fan Club headquarters and we strolled in to see his bike which he won the 125’s on and lots of career photos. We joined the fan club for 40 Euros each which gave us a t-shirt,cap and bumbag and keyring. The people there also gave us posters hearing we had come from Australia and been to the races. We were stoked ...

... ephemera, e.g. beachwear, fast food, and playgrounds for kids. There are even British pubs here, one of the U.K.'s most famous exports, along with pot-bellied pub owners. They've also got automats here; remember them? You probably don't if you never lived in New York City in the 1960's. I never saw them any other place or time... until now. I can vividly remember that being one of the first things we went ...

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 ...
