I don't think this is nearly as exciting as Africa and Kiruna were but for somebody thinking of going to Italy, I hope you find it useful.

Just in case you need a break from the rough news of the world (especially if you saw any of the Naked SF Biker pictures).

This is probably my last travelogue till the fall, and then we head home to the good old US of A.... home sweet home!

;D

I love your travelogues!
Your mix of humor and description is highly entertaining and informative.
Galileo turned around and said to their waiter "Cafe Americano". - And you were wondering what he was learning back in school!

Looking very much forward to Spain, but you know what I really want to read? You're thoughts of when you've arrived back home...in America.

I know these threads take a little while to put together and just wanted to let you know that your efforts are much appreciated.

Glad you've enjoyed what you've seen of Europe so far.

It is a human right to once experience Italy.
My favourite italian region is Tuscany, for many reasons.

(Learn more about the magnificent florentine renaissance
http://www.learner.org/exhibits/renaissance/middleages.html - this is one of the major reasons why we westerners are who we are)

Italy is a part of the world that has shaped the conditions of mankind like no other geographical/cultural area, with the possible exception of Greece.

You also went to Kiruna, Sweden.

I'm swedish and live in Sweden, but I've never been to the polar part.
I've been all over Europe, to Asia, to America, but I haven't visited Kiruna.

We all need a get away every now and then.
More and more people are discovering Sweden, maybe I should as well!

Välkomna till Europa!
(Welcome to Europe!)
