We are back from a 10 day trip to Italy and we were lucky to be there in the midst of a record-breaking European heat wave. We were greeted with 105-degree temps that didn’t let up much the entire time we were there. I am sure Dante Alighieri was rolling in his grave with laughter as we tried our best to acclimate to the hellish weather.
Despite this, the trip turned out great. We managed to fit in the standard Italy first-timers itinerary (Rome, Florence, and Venice) and also managed a few side trips to places I haven’t visited before–notably Bologna and the Cinque Terre (with swimming in the Ligurian Sea an added bonus).
Reagen M. promised to provide a much more detailed accounting of our trip which I hope to post soon but for now, I’ll leave you with some pics from our adventure:
Nice pictures of Rome and a flashback to my trip in 2017. Loved the one of the shaft of light coming down from the eye of the Pantheon. Glad you got to see Piazza Navona with its wonderful fountains. Thanks for the memories.
