<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">our hotel, campo imperatore, with its surprsing history, in the clouds on Sunday morning. we needed heavy fleece jackets to go out. Situated at 2.200 meters and built in the 1930's. Famous for being the place where Mussolini was held prisoner for 12 days or so after the fall of Fascism. The German forces literally glided in during "operazione quercia" on Sept 12th, 1943 and "liberated" him under to the shock and surprise of the Italians guarding him. you can still see the room where he was lodged. Place hasn't changed much!</td></tr>

Sharm al Sheik, Egypt is a resort on the Red Sea very close to the bottom tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Lucky for me Scott's organization has one of their camps very close to Sharm (they were there way before the resort hotels were built). Sharm is known for its fabulous diving spots. Every morning we watched the invasion of the white dive boats, hordes of them, out on the water by 8 a.m. The sea is a many shades of gorgeous blues, the temperature of the water a bit cool in the morning but warmed up during the day and it was full of lots of amazing, colorful fish. A great place to spend some time whether one has to go to work or just to relax.<br />

day one was very busy filled with lots of fun. I have a tremendous amount of photos so will try to narrow them down and upload more of them. An exciting place to visit, lots to do and see, expensive, but I dont' think anyone would be disappointed in the city. Some of the above photos are a bit out of order but I got tired trying to fix them all in the right place.</div>

Made ENTIRELY of small wooden pieces. he was a local boy who worked in the 1960's and on. he died a few years ago. we squeezed his exhibit in after lunch before our train back to Rome. There had been a lovely wooden intarsia in the Bargellini museum and the caretaker informed us of this exhibit taking place. Glad we could fit it in. Was amazing.</td></tr>

Fast train (just a bit less than 2 hrs from Rome) on Saturday morning to Bologna for an overnight visit. We had tickets to see the much talked about Vermeer exhibit. Exhibit turned out to not be a highlight, as it was not organized well with small cramped rooms overloaded with people. There were only two Vermeers, both lovely and some other very pretty paintings, plus we had just seen the Vermeer exhibit in Rome which actually had 5 paintings! The Palazzo Fava which hosted the exhibit had ceilings and upper walls frescoed by the Caracci brothers which were beautiful. We were also in Bologna to help our friend celebrate his 60th birthday. We found lots of other churches, architectural sights and museums to keep us going and needless to say we had 3 wonderful meals. Lots to see and do in a lovely city which is generally not on the tourist path. It is well worth a visit or two or three. We had been once before about 20 years ago, glad we found a reason to return.</div>

We went with friends to Venice for the weekend. The excuse this time was to attend the biannual showing of the now famous British "panto" written and directed by our friend, Laurie Graham. This year it was "Jack and the Beanstalk". It is a fun event, all the money goes to a local charity, and a lot of Venetian ex-pats as well as some other regulars from England act in it.<br />
Venice in January: the city is serene and quiet, the fog is enchanting above the church domes and towers and there are no crowds to fight. One of our favorite restaurants was closed, as a lot of them take a break at this time of year. However that didn't stop us from extravagant, delicious eating and drinking including trying two new fabulous restaurants which are now on our ever increasing list.<br />
Was also fun to wander (yes, our umbrellas got a workout) with the "Secret Venice" book and click off a few more of the intricate details one never notices. This included: the hidden initials of Victor Emmanuel II on one of the bridges ( done during the Austian occupation), a brick heart in the sottoportego in the calle dei preti, a byzantine emperor in stucco, relief of la donna onesta, the chapel of the holy nail (not there!) in san pantalon, the game or spiritual symbol carved on a bench outside the scuola di San Rocco, the column and a half stucco on the san polo pharmacy, as well as others. All of this, plus a visit to the Frari and the Ca Rezzonico to see the Pietro Bellotti landscape exhibit (very nice) was on the weekend agenda. Pantos, dining, touring, spending time with wonderful friends had us running to our departure train with 10 whole minutes to spare.</div>

Spent Friday first at Rijks, then a quite lunch and over to the Van Gogh museum. While the Van Gogh museum has gorgeous paintings it's design seems out of date and despite the fact they were controlling the numbers of people going in you always had to be waiting in line to see the art. If you go to either museum you really need to book ahead.</div>

We arrived in a rainstorm but that only dampened our spirits while we were getting wet walking to the restaurant for our Rijsttafel dinner. Once we were fed and on our way back to hotel rain had stopped, the bridges were lit, and the clouds illuminated by the full moon over the canals brought forth a much happier mood. The views were so very pretty. Up early the next morning to beat the crowds are the newly restored Rijksmuseum, just opened in May after being closed for about 8 years. We did well on the timing. We explored there for a few hours and then headed for some lunch and the Van Gogh museum. More to follow.</div>

Scott and I have been going to the Venice Biennale for a number of years. The Biennale began in 1895 as more or less a type of world's fair of art. Every year more and more countries participate. This year I believe it was 150 countries.<br />
<br />
I often wonder why I go since I HATE a great deal of the exhibited art. However, I have figured out what it is that I like about this three day undertaking. Most of all, it is usually the buildings in which the art is exhibited which excites me the most and some of the old pavilions on the ground of the Giardino Pubblico are lovely. The Hungarian pavilion for one is stunning, which includes art deco architecture and mosaics from the early 1900's. The giardino itself, in summer or fall, is a quiet, tranquil place to wander; thankfully way, way far away from the chaos of San Marco. I truly enjoy walking around the huge, Arsenale complex which never fails to make one realize how the Venetians truly ruled the Eastern Mediterranean for centuries, the real "La Serenissima" comes through loud and clear. Then there is the other whole section which involves the exhibition of art in a variety of spaces, palazzi, scuole throughout all of Venice. This part of the biennale is free to all. A fabulous opportunity to see the inside of some of these lovely spaces, many situated on the Grand Canal with views one could only dream of.<br />
<br />
I have not photographed a lot of the art I hated, some I find some quite distasteful and I am not much of a video art fan. I prefer to get away from the electronic age when I go to see art. Some of the artists truly are disturbed souls. I am not just saying that but the bios explained this.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed finding out that many of the artists in war-torn countries are continuing to pursue their passion. The Egyptian pavilion had a long story behind its administration: who was or wasn't in charge as regimes and cultural ministers were in constant flux. Many new countries were exhibiting for the first time including the Vatican. A lot of the art had political, or environmental messages which one doesn't always want to be reminded of when out for a nice day, but I can understand the artist wanting to present a message.<br />
<br />
The Lebanese Pavilion showed a film by Akram Zaatari, "Letter to a Refusing Pilot" which relates the story of an Israeli pilot during the invasion of Lebanon in 1982. He was given orders to bomb a target, which he recognized as a school. He knew he was disobeying orders but he could not bring himself to do this and instead dropped the bombs into the sea.<br />
<br />
The Macedonian pavilion in the Scuola Dei Laneri (wool guild) had a very large walk through (maybe 10 foot) wall which was made of dead albino rats. Art, not sure? The message being something about the migration pattern of disease with immigrants. I got out of that pavilion very quickly.<br />
<br />
The Chilean exhibition consisted of a large scale model of the biennale itself which became submerged every 3 minutes in a very murky, ugly, dark greenish body of water symbolizing the birth and rebirth of lands? Venice? flooded areas?<br />
<br />
In the Arsenale nord's La Torre di Porta Nuova (monumental proportions and space), built between 1809 and 1814 to enable the mechanical placement of masts onto ships, "Breath" a four channel video featuring a soothing musical chant of four different religious traditions: Buddhist, Christian, Jewish and Islamic took place. You walk into a totally black box and hear music from the 4 religions but they all intermesh with one another. No one music sound dominates the other. That I enjoyed for a few minutes.<br />
<br />
Some pavilions didn't make too much sense to me such as the Irish one on the Grand Canal at the San Angelo vaporetto stop. It consisted of many screens which were showing short movies/video of the civil war in the Congo. You felt the tension, the loud noise, the fear of being discovered and shot, you saw the gorgeous green, lush mountains in the Congo. Had nothing to do with Ireland but this Irish artist had a tale to tell.<br />
<br />
There's a lot to say about the Biennale but I guess the bottom line being that is a fun two or more days of exploring the city at its best. The ticket allows you to enter into the Giardino and Arsenale exhibition spaces on two different days if you prefer and the exhibitions around the city are free. biennale runs from June to end of November.<br />

Lots to do and little time to do it. We did the best we could from the moment we set foot in Venice. LOTS of walking, eating, admiring, sightseeing, and learning. Saw San Marco, Barbara and Shannon went up in San Marco tower, we visited friends on Giudecca, took a traghetto (gondolo which crosses the grand canal), toured the fish and vegetable market, crossed all 4 bridges, took vaporetto to Murano and toured the island, saw the wonderfully, elaborate Scala Contarini del Bovolo staircase, saw a few other churches, had a well-deserved celebratory cocktail for Shannon's 25th birthday on the wonderful terrace of the Monaco and Grand hotel. Had two fun dinners, great lunch stop on Murano, and enjoyed our cute bed and breakfast. Lots of fun and very tired feet.</div>

Two nights and three days in the spectacular Cinque Terre. We had a fun b and b in Vernazza, hiked a nice, long section of the trail, enjoyed our simple lunches and the famous Ligurian pesto and local Cinque Terre wine with our dinners. Lots of tourists but good to see after the disaster they suffered almost two years ago. My first time in Cinque Terre was almost 23 years ago and it hasn't changed much. It is a UNESCO site and gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. No one will be disappointed traveling there.</div>

A temple of Aesculapius was built here and the island is still associated with healing as there is one of the main hospitals in Rome on the island. The island was faced in travertine, some of which you can still see with the serpent of Aesculapius carved in relief on the stone. Aesculapius was the Greek god of medicine and healing and his snake headed rod/staff is still a symbol of medicine. As an aside one of his daughters was Hygieia, goddess of health and cleanliness, thus today's word hygiene.</td></tr>

It was a great pleasure to have my dear high school friend Barbara and her daughter visiting Rome. Barbara and I made the best of two days seeing the Baths of Caracalla, exploring the layers of San Clemente church, lunch and gelato on the aventine, a swim in a local pool, coffee in the Villa Borghese, peeking through the keyhole, visiting the Capitoline museum and having a great caffe shakerato on the gorgeous terrace next door to museum at the top of Victor Emmanuele monument overlooking Rome. We had a few fun dinners on our terrace, dined out on the Tevere and enjoyed pizza and a walk in Trastevere with some of my Roman friends, and hung out on the sidewalk table sampling some delicious cremolato. We went to Sunday Mass in the Baths of Diocletian having been converted to a church by Michelangelo in the 1500's. They also went to the Galleria Borghese to see the Bernini Baroque sculptures and first rate art collection. We squeezed in as much as possible.<br />
A good time was had by all!</div>

<span id="goog_1489270718"></span><span id="goog_1489270719"></span> on our way back from the day trip to Innsbruck we stopped in Sterzing/Vipiteno which is in Italy. Lovely town with two great churches, a great wooden town hall dating to 15th century, some very pretty architecture and two fun shopping streets all surrounded by the mountains. Well worth the stop.</div>

Having Matthew and Christopher visiting at the same time in July was the highlight of the summer. Then a week long trip to Dolomites to breathe fresh air, take in gorgeous views and relax wasn't bad either. Matthew went off to attend an economic conference in Canazei. Scott and I took a day trip to Innsbruck was a lot of fun.<br />

Maximilian I was the King of the Romans (also known as King of the Germans) from 1486 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 until his death, though he was never in fact crowned by the Pope, the journey to Rome always being too risky. As in the Renaissance his family and the Hasburg empire spend by marriage to various princesses in Spain and France. He was a patron of the arts, science and a reformer of laws. All in all seemed like a good figure from my brief introduction to him.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span">Montpellier is the capital of Languedoc- Roussillon region</span><span class="Apple-style-span">. we had a few hours to explore and eat lunch before getting our train to marseille for the plane to Rome. It is a fun city, not too large, great buildings, fun stores, streets, and cafes. Hopefully we will have the change to return and explore more of the city.</span></div>

May Day was the day to visit the lake with our picnic from what we purchased at the morning market. We explored the area and then drove on to visit the lovely town of Pezenas. Dinner was lots of fun at a local winery "cote mas" which produces many, many kinds of wine. They have recently opened a restaurant on their premises with a Japanese, French trained, chef. Dinner was wonderful. They serve only their own wines and have a great policy of marking up all wines by only 5 Euro. A glass of wine was 2 euro. Was a wonderful dinner and evening after another very busy day.<br />

A fun and busy two days. Monday, Peter and Joe kindly fetched us from the train in Montpelier and we stayed close to home as the weather was bad. We ate, drank and were merry and did get a nice walk in after the rainfall on the pretty local trails. Tues. we had fun at the local "huilerie d'olive" store buying all kinds of wonderful dishes, soaps, edible treasures etc. and in the local French Hyper U supermarket. Went back "home" for a lunch of cheeses and breads and once it appeared that the raindrops were letting up we piled in the car and drove to the Oppidum at Nissan-lez-Enserune between Beziers and Narbonne. Great day exploring and then out for a fabulous dinner to celebrate Peter's (and my) birthdays in Beziers.</div>

Saturday in London was action packed yet again and very cool and so windy. Started off at Portobello market which was ridiculously crowded as it was Saturday. We strolled around till we were all too cold and then found a nice, biological product restaurant for lunch. all their ingredients were imported from their farm. We defrosted a bit and then headed over for a walk to the Saint Bartholomew church, Guildhall and Guildhall art gallery, being Saturday that area was almost deserted. Guess everyone was at the Portobello market! We then arrived, in very late afternoon, to take in an hour or so of the always pleasing Victoria and Albert Museum, always learning more and more. Back to hotel for a quick change and then to a friend's house for a wonderfully entertaining and fun last evening in London.<br />
<br />
Paris- took chunnel train from St Pancras (such a great train station). In 2.5 hours you arrive at the Gare du Nord. We had a nice walk, adding in the Chinese exhibit, and then to a one star restaurant for dinner. Sunday evening one does not have much to choose from in Paris. Dinner was good but I always cringe when the check arrives.</div>

busy, busy days on two very nice, warmish and sunshiny days. shortly after arrival we headed by tube to the courtauld gallery to see their collection and the small, but excellent, Picasso exhibit. From there we met two of Christopher's friends for a drink at covent garden and then a late Indian dinner near our hotel. Thursday was action packed: morning exhibit of the "Ice Age" at the british museum where we saw many pieces of small sculptures made of bone, stone, antlers etc dating back to 23,000 year ago. The age of these pieces was astonishing. nice exhibit. We also took in a few more rooms of the regular collection before we got hungry. Then a lunch time trip to Borough Market, followed by a walk along bankside, across the millennium bridge, stopping in the blackfriars pub for a drink, then on to the delightful Leighton House Museum. Hurried back to hotel to meet Fran and Bill and off to our great chinese dinner and fabulous play "The Audience" starring Helen Mirren. Well worth every pence spent on it. Made all 4 of us very happy. A great day and a half.</div>
