A Journey in London

Three days in London: a lot of rain but also a whole sunny day... maybe not so bad after all! Two for one! A good bargain.

Lovely pictures! Thanks for sharing!

I love London. Miss it so much. Haven't been since 2001, when we actually had 80F temperatures the day we went to the Tower.

My fave part of the Tower was taking the close up picture of Lady Jane Grey's "signature" that she carved into the wall of her cell. I admire that woman a great deal. She had guts.

Lordy, I do envy your being able to travel all over Europe so cheaply. Want to adopt me so I can have citizenship in the EU? *winks*

Oh Vermont! Green Hills of Vermont! is right? I have known an Italian who now live in Vermont and said to me it is a beautiful country, very green.

Yes. The Green Mountains are on the border between Vermont and the state of New York. If you are in northern Vermont, you can look across the beautiful waters of Lake Champlain (the biggest US lake other than the five Great Lakes) to see the Adirondak Mountains.

It's a lovely state. Sometimes too quiet and isolated, but definitely one of my favorite places.

What is it like where you live?

I live in Padua, near Venice. But Padua is the second oldest city in Italy, after Rome. The legend says that a fellow of Enea, who founded Rome, was Antenore, and he is the founder of Padua. Also we have the second oldest University in the world, founded in the 1221. And we are also a pilgrim point, because we host the corpse of San Anthony of Loyola. I live in the historic centre, and my Cafe au Livre is setting in the Medieval Quarter. ciao, elisa

I am 44 and have only begun my quest to visit different countries. GOOD FOR YOU!!! Of course, Germany will be the European country I visit the most, but in the future I hope Nick and I will be able to go to other countries as well. I do not understand those with the attitudes (and I do see it alot around here) that 'there's no reason to go anywhere else--the US has it all.' NO IT DOES NOT!

Oohhh I cannot tell you how amazing it was to feel the HISTORY of Germany...our country is terribly young, and to just be where people have been for... FOREVER... is astounding. My daughter felt the same while in Italy and Greece. She can hardly wait to go back to Italy, and I absolutely encourage her to travel as much as she can while she's young. :)

I love all your pictures!

Yes. My mother says same to me when I want to go abroad: why you want to go here when here in Italy you have all? But I love travel in other country, but before other continents I want to know well Europe.
