Ercolano What a gloriously sunny and hot day to venture to Herculaneum. We decided to see Herculaneum instead of Pompeii. Why? Well, while Pompeii is synonymous with Italy and Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum, I had never heard of until Whitney told me about it. Originally our plans were to go to Vesuvius and then Herculaneum. Did not happen. Why you ask? …

Meta Not quite Naples, not quite Sorento, but in between. How amazing that we could stay on both the coasts of Italy and experience such a difference in coastlines. We drove from Matera, what a drive. OMG. I tell you, driving in a different country has given me perspective on just trying to stay in my own lane…. I have…

Matera! What can I say again about this beautiful, old and ancient city? Well, that we did not get to spend as much time there as we wanted, so for sure back on our list of where to head back some day soon. Whitney and I had one full day, the day we arrived to see the sites and revel…

Matera an ancient city Again, Whitney has found an amazing part of Italy that I had never even heard of until she showed me on the computer. I was to say the least SUPER excited to come to Matera. ZTL is alive and well all over Italy, take heed while driving through any town If you are staying at a…

Polignano A Mare.. a walk thru town Walking through town, I took a picture with a nice Nonno (grandpa). He looks confused, well, because he probably was. I sort of ran up to him and asked to take a picture with him. What could he say? I was fast and thankful. I was trying to find the people of Polignano…

Polignano A Mare Talk about gorgeous. Wow! Words did leave us at times. The Adriatic Sea is incredibly beautiful and Polignano A Mare is just a beautiful. When Whitney showed me where we would be staying I fell in love, but I admit the drive to get there and the little adventure on the ricksha was unexpected yet fun. Everything…

A beautiful day in San Marino Looking forward to a wonderful day in San Marino was on the “to do” list for us. Lots of driving we have been doing so far in Italy, so it feels good to stop and “smell the roses”, per se. Planning out our day was easy. The castle, some hiking, which is the case…

Where will you be in a year? Well I can tell you I never thought that San Marino would be in the books at the beginning of the fall season. That is what this blog is about. Traveling and enjoying life and all the stuff in between. We all have to work and make a living to go on these…

Poppi. Who knew? We were going to be driving for a while on day three from Pisa to San Marino, FYI that is a small country in Italy. We wanted to avoid the expensive toll roads as much as possible and a couple hours drive was not too bad right? Ugg, it was a long day, but we found Poppi!…
