And now, the last stop on our trip… March 9, 2012 Midnight Paris Time Final thoughts, final words on a trip that has been amazing, marvelous, spectacular and a host of other things. Arriving in Paris last night proved even more of a language barrier than Rome. I had a tough time trying to figure […]
When last we left our intrepid world traveler, he was on his way from Barcelona to Rome. The journey continues… March 7, 2012 10:45PM Rome Time So, my wild time in Roma is almost done. I arrived around 5:30 last night and made it to my hotel room, the Beehive, by 6:00. It was too […]
It’s been a while since I posted, and I am going to try to make the hiatuses (hiaiti?) less frequent.
