Home Again…

We are back from our world travels and have recovered for the most part. It takes three or four days to really get back into your normal sleep pattern and home routine. I’m 95% back to normal and ready to get some work done.

I have yet to crack open my novel but am working up to it. I have some great ideas for later and will get to it eventually. For now, I need to get back into the day-job routine and make sure the I still have a income.

I have a total of 3302 pictures and videos to sort and edit from the trip and have barely scraped the surface. I will add a few here as a teaser. Keep in mind these are just taken with my cellphone. I haven’t posted any pics from the big camera and have high expectations.

More later.

ON HOLIDAY – ITALY

Thoughts about Italy:

  • Venice does not smell like a ditch – pleasantly surprised
  • I have failed to find ANY bad Italian food!
  • There are millions of steps here! My legs are tired.
  • The traffic is INSANE!! But I think every single Italian is a better driver than every American. I saw no accidents.
  • There are no malls. But there are little shops and restaurants on every corner.
  • I never saw a straight road.
  • The seafood here is amazing.
  • We found an Irish pub in every town we stopped in. I don’t need a Guiness every day, but I want to know where to get one when the need arises.
