We took a taxi to the Viareggio train station and took the express train back to Rome. When we arrived at Roma Termini, we grabbed a taxi that took us to our hotel, The Duke. We had to drive right by the Borghese property and National Museum of Modern Art. We checked in at the hotel, which is located in a residential area--not walking distance to anywhere. We had chosen that hotel based on the recommendation of a collegue that DH had to meet with--but we did not realize it was so far from eve...

We took the hotel's shuttle down to the Spanish Steps. We walked towards the Colosseum, stopping at Bar Orrefazione, where we got the most delicious cappucinos for .80 euros! What a steal! It clearly was a local place where people came did a quick shot of espresso, then went about their day (to work or whatever). Everyone, including us, stood at the bar to drink our coffee. Passing through Piazza del Quirinale, we made it to the Colosseum in no time. Spent some time walking around. There were...

When we got to the Vatican area, DH had to make a phone call, so I went into the Vatican store (near the left entrance to St. Peter's Square). That place was huge. Very Disney-like with its souvenirs. We then went into the square. We decided to get in line for St. Peter's Basilica. We didn't have time to do everything, so we will just have to do the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museum another time. The line really didn't take that long. The cathedral is just amazing and VERY opulent; the ar...

Hello Everyone, (This is a test run for our first travel blog.)
We sincerely hope each of you are doing well.
About two months ago I read one of Mark's client's travel blogs covering their trip to Europe. I read it from beginning to end. I enjoyed it so much that I thought Mark and I would share our travel experiences with you in real time and hopefully give you a sense of travel along with us.
Please note our itinerary can be read by clicking on "Trekking Italy Fishman...

... from the train station which made things pretty easy.
I got all checked in and got my stuff organized then headed for a
quick snack before dinner. There was a great pizza place right next
door to the hostel that I thought I would try out. I had a tomato and
swish cheese pizza with big chunks of tomatos. After I walked around a
bit to orient myself with the city. Unfortunately I hadn't grabbed a ...
... what should have been a 25 min experience has become an hour and 15 min (thank goodness it was not by meter) and I'd like to pay less than the 35 Euro (43 dollars) as it was no error of mine. Well bargaining with someone who just can't figure out what you are saying is very unfruitful and unfulfilling.
So I get into the hotel only to learn that this one doesn't have a garden and all I wanted to do was sit in a garden, be by myself and read ...
... acrylic painting I am working on. Once half step forward and oops back to limbo. A window here, a brick there, then back to limbo. Will I ever be able to break free . . . I hope to finish the painting this weekend. DAVID - once again and still as beautiful. The expression that Michelangelo captured on his face as he gazes towards his foe is an incredible mixture of fear, confusion and most of all a challenging "in your face" look. The wonder of this ...

... a big and loud scene! Good thing I have these Roman buses figured out! This morning I was up bright and early to get in line for the Vatican Museum. I spent about 3 hours inside with highlights being Raphael's "School of Athens" and the Sistine Chapel. I spent the rest of the afternoon shopping... I've spent the evenings at the campsite usually watching World Cup games on a big screen tv on the pool deck. I have never watched so ...

... enough, we see the famous dome. That first sight of the dome in the distance, in the hazy morning sunlight, is worth more than a thousand words. Even Godwin is suitably impressed, again... (this being his second trip to Rome). As we approach the building, it grows before our eyes, getting larger with every step. The Basilica di San Pietro. The heart of the Catholic Church. The Basilica di San Pietro. We don ...

... There are only a few canals left, no signs of any major town in the past, and in the middle of the overgrown countryside is the Duomo of Santa Maria dell'Assunta. It is the oldest building in the lagoon, dating from 639, and is a wonderful byzantine church. The mosaics are sensational. The most amazing thing is that despite its age, everything is in such good condition. The mosaics are undamaged and complete-gleaming. The marble rood screens are finely decorated with peacocks ...
