(home of honeymooners and geriatrics)
We awoke early (8:00am!) to call and see if the boats to Capri were running this morning. We were told that they were not as the seas were too rough, so Wendy attempted to go back to sleep (after staying up too late finishing […]

(written on the terrace with the most brilliant moonlight on the blue sea)
Enjoyed our breakfast on their veranda (though far enough away from the loud American foursome who so violated my quietude yesterday) then hit the road for Pompeii, Italy. A lovely drive through the mountains, with some […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal.
We awoke to a most tremendous downpour. As it was to be a day of solemnity and introspection, we just spent it reading and reflecting. The rainfall continued all day, though the friendly front desk men claimed that this was quite aberrational and assured us that the […]

(which was actually better than the amplified, every-fifteen-minute clanging of the church bells we had been […]

An entry in the TFS Travel Journal
As breakfast was included in the price of the Hotel cell we slept in, we met in the tiny breakfast room at 9, enjoying the extra sleep due to our already being here! Unquestionably, the saddest hotel breakfast we’ve consumed, with some not-homemade pastries, packaged jams, and coffee; […]

Nice leisurely morning for the full house, especially nice to see Adam studying out in the garden. We walked over and saw John and Virginia’s lovely little studio, in case any of us have to run away from home. We then drove to Spoleto, Italy with Wendy […]
