Porto, the City of Bridges

September 13, 2019 by AJ Leave a Comment

To say I have neglected this site would be the understatement of the year.  Because this site is for my personal use, I don’t care about posting consistently or keeping content “fresh.”  As a result, I write when the mood strikes me.  Work has been crazy, so my attention has been focused elsewhere.

Exploring Lisbon

June 11, 2019 by AJ Leave a Comment

Lisbon can be an odd choice for tourists.  While its origins predate most of the other European capital cities (including London, Rome, and Paris), there is little in the way of historical sites and attractions.  While it was once one of the largest cities in Europe and the starting point for many of the Portuguese […]

As I sit down to write on my blog about our visit to Florence, I’m trying hard not to make it sound like a Wikipedia article.  As a history geek, I love the facts, dates and events that make up the timeline of a city.  But much like IQ and blood pressure scores do not […]

Bellagio, Italy and Lake Como

June 26, 2018 by AJ Leave a Comment

Our driver picked us up from our Milan hotel for the 2 hour drive to the town of Bellagio. Once we got out of Milan, the drive itself was scenic, with the Italian Alps ahead of us, passing small villages and rural farmland. Once we got to Lake Como, we drove down a narrow winding […]
