Traveling, writing and this thing called life to bring joy to my heart and yours
The Palace This is my second visit and I believe it was Paula’s 1st visit to Dunfermline Palace and Abbey. I loved it here, heck I love all the castles, castle ruins and abbeys, etc. that I have been to in Scotland. The Royals Many of the Scottish monarchs favored Dunfermline as a residence. History …
First stop Our first stop after leaving the airport and getting our rental car. First, a shout out to Paula for driving. I know I posted driving in the U.K. in previous posts, but this is where I watched and tried to learn. Paula I would say was an expert driver, left or right side, …
I really love Scotland If I have not made it clear in my posts of Scotland, I love Scotland. Since I was little, Scotland has always been my dream place. So, in 2016 I went almost a whole month and embraced as much as I could and then realized that I need and I say …

We were a bit disappointed but understood that something this beautiful must be maintained. However the next day after we saw the Pantheon, we found that the …

The train system is good as well and the buses, but walk if you can. It feels good to walk after sitting …
Rome What can one say about the Capital city of Roma? A lot. It is a cosmopolitan city that has both the ancient, old and new all mixed in together. It is a hustle and bustle of teeming life. People on corners all over the city, selling their wares, food, clothes, trinkets and tours. What …
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 …
