Today on my morning run I noticed a subtle change in the seasons. The streets of late August that had been teeming with beachgoers in bathing suits are now replaced by fully clothed individuals.
Dinner For Six
We were invited to the beautiful area of San Felice Circeo about an hour south from our house along the coast to have dinner with friends. The evening started at 5:00pm as we drove into the scenic area of San Felice Circeo and parked along the harbor.
A Visit to Castelli Romani
Today we visited the area of Castelli Romani with the lakeside towns of Castel Grandolfo and Nemi. Castel Grandolfo is considered by some as one of the most scenic places in Italy and is the site of an ancient volcanic crater that is now Lake Albano.
A Morning Run in Nettuno
Today we have taken a morning off and are currently sitting outside at a cafe right around the corner from our house. We come here often for cappuccino and a pastry, that is the normal Italian breakfast, Jeff is loving it. Today Jeff had a pear and chocolate croissant and I had a cappuccino, I have my jogging clothes on and am trying to will myself to go on a run.
My Tiny House
In an effort to simplify and free up our time for more important things, we decided to try living in a “Tiny House”. A couple of years ago, my mom decided to turn my dads “Motorcycle Shop” into a “She-Shack”. The shop had sat unused since my dads death and she felt it was time to turn the old shop into a space that she could use and enjoy.
Yosemite
It is appropriate that my first travel article should be about Yosemite. The world is full of exotic places to visit with many impressive man-made monuments such as the pyramids, Roman Colosseum in Italy, the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. But even these impressive structures pale into insignificance compared to the age and grandeur of Yosemite.
