One of the most moving sites we visited in Vatican City was St Peter’s Basilica. Again, as a church, picture taking is limited, although it’s allowed in most areas without flash. Being extremely phobic about heights (and averse to two-hour long lines), I declined to go up into the dome.
In the picture below, which I […]
I’m sure most people are aware that Vatican City is a little sovereign nation right in the middle of Rome! I don’t even know where to begin with telling you about our visit to the Vatican Museum…I saw pieces of art that I never in my life ever thought I’d have the chance to see […]
We traveled by train from Venice back to Orvieto to retrieve all of Dani’s stuff from the monastery. From there we took a train into Rome’s central station (Termani). That pretty well shot the day, as you can probably imagine. Bright but not too early the next morning we began our Roman adventure!

We went to the Glass Museum, where you were (unfortunately) not allowed to take pictures inside at all.

The Doge was the traditional ruler of Venice. There were many many Doges over the years, and the Palace, right in St Mark’s Square, houses one of the best art collections in the city. As is usual in “museums” of this type, you can take pictures in many areas as long […]
I love the story of Mark, the young man who deserted Paul and Barnabas on one of their missionary journeys in the first century. Afterward, Paul could not be convinced to give him another try, but Barnabas took him under his wing and encouraged him to try again. Mark eventually went on to […]
Venice has a series of squares or piazzes that are connected by long narrow alley-ways. These alleys can either be stone or water, and when you are a stranger to the region, you’re never quite sure which will greet you are you round each corner. Or whether there will even be a corner […]
I hope you have a wonderful holiday, filled with family, friends, and grilled food!
