Ah, a nice down day. We enjoyed breakfast in our favorite charming dining room, and then Milton wandered the town to get a shave, some film, and fruit while Wendy perused the shop of one of the hotel’s sisters, admiring the lovely ceramics. We then returned to […]

Enjoyed breakfast in the loveliest little dining room. Pretty floral plates of differing patterns on each table, along with big ceramic creations in the shapes of cakes, bunches of asparagus, etc. which we’ll be investigating the availability of tomorrow.
Set off toward the Dolomites, Italy taking the […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal.
It must be noted that today was the first day of the trip that Milton slept later than Wendy. We walked to the old Jewish ghetto (there are now only 500 Jews in Venice; about 30 of them live presently in the ghetto), which looks like other piazzas, […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal
(you know, we’re all used to hearing various noises now and then in the night, but it’s still pretty strange lying in bed and hearing motor boats and lapping water literally right outside your window)
Mmmm, another breakfast of assorted pastries on the road. First stop of the day […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal
Skipped breakfast at the hotel entirely and set off to see what we could find on the street. We were not disappointed. We began with a delicious Italian yodel and a freshly baked custard-filled cruller. Then we stopped in another bakery and picked up some crostini […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal.
Breakfast here in the hotel pretty much sucked; some canned fruit, bland pastries. Set off to soak up the city of Venice, Italy, in the now cool fall weather. We walked all about, stopping at I Friari - a large brick church from the 1500s with some […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal.

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal
Wow, what a wild and wacky weather day! We puttered around in the room all morning, doing excercises, stretching, reading, calling the ceramic place in Tuscany, Italy.
We decided to go back to Netta’s place in Ravello for lunch today and eat in Amalfi tomorrow, the better […]
