... used to be very big there. Of course it has disappeared over the years but it is slowly making a comeback. We didn’t price any lace but it is probably expensive. Hand made lace always is. I’m not much of a lace person so wasn’t really interested in getting any. We did find some very nice clothes though that were quite expensive. Heavy ...

On Sunday morning, we were absolutely sad to leave and enjoyed one lingering breakfast on the hotel terrace before pointing the Fiat Westward.

With a complicated travel day in front of us, the stars would need to align in order to make everything work.The four hour drive to Malpensa seemed on track until we realized that most the Gas stations near the airport were closed on Sunday or took only ...

So I was in Venice this weekend, and it was great! I love Venice! I met up with my Dad, Renate from Germany, and two of her daughters and a friend of theirs, so it was a nice little group of six. Makes a nice change from travelling by myself (although the extent of 'travelling by myself' so far has been Florence, really). Anyways, I left Friday afternoon after getting up at 5 that morning to fire a kiln (more on that in another entry), and arrived in Venice at about 9. Of ...

On Good Friday, Brian and I left from the central station in Munich around 11am, sad to leave but eager to see what Italy has in store for us. The train ride was absolutely unbelievable. From Munich we moved south through the rolling hills and into Innsbruck, the famous winter vacationing spot of the wealthy from all over Europe. From Innsbruck we snaked through the snow covered northern Italian Alps. From village to village the scenery got exponentially ...

3 days in Venice are not enough. The first night in Venice, I went out for dinner with Kristine, Paola, and Marten. We went to this really cute little restaurant that was outside, with all the little white christmas lights. It was so very italian. I had the best pizza (yes I know, but it's just too good to turn down), I've had since I got here. MMMMMM. So just as we were finished eating it started to pour rain. The ...

Venice... crazy place. immediately as i get off the train, i realize that for the duration of my stay, i will probably be hearing at least one, if not, several, Italian people talking, yelling, fighting, loving etc all at once. it's overwhelming, but great. unfortunately, a large part of the people i'm hearing are all tourists. Venice is packed with them. the tiny winding streets wait for wandering tourists to take one wrong turn, so most foreigners stick to main ...

Ok, so we left the sunny beaches of Nice and finally arrived in Italy. Our first stop was Torino (Turin in English) where the winter Olympics are going to be held next year. This was a really cool town. There obviously a lot of contruction (since the Olympics are less then a year away), but I can see why they picked this town. It's a big city with lots of nice shopping streets and plazas, but you can see the mountains on almost ...
