- for additional journal entries and more photos, visit my website www.abirdinthekitchen.com - The last time I was in Venice was during the winter. It was overcast, bone-chillingly cold, and all-together rather dreary. Surprisingly, that doesn’t really diminish the city’s splendor. There’s just something magical about Venice and I think it’s one of the must-see cities in Italy for any first-time traveler. This time the weather wasn’t exactly ideal, but we …

Officially I’m now back in the United States – but according to this website I’ve still got several weeks of updating to do.

For the last day of our Easter vacation we went out into the countryside …

-to view the original post, additional journal entries, and more photos visit www.abirdinthekitchen.com- I wasn’t really sure what to expect from Bologna before going. I didn’t really know a whole lot about the town aside from the extremely old university, that they’ve supposedly got some great food, and it’s not usually mobbed with tourists like Rome, Florence, an Venice. I admit, it’s a surprisingly cute town – and I especially liked …
