From Rome to London, part 1

JFK ● Rome, Italy ● Vatican
This summer, my wife, my son, and I took a Globus HFFT tour - from the Coliseum to the Eiffel Tower with London Extension. It's a family oriented tour, hence the locations that we visited and tour activities were geared toward families with children. Children's age varied from 6 to 18. Half of the group was this one big family: grandma, aunts and uncles, sister and brothers with the spouses and their kids. What a way to travel.

We have departed JFK, with a two hour delay, to Rome Italy. The delay was due to broken lavatory, an captain did not feel comfortable flying over Atlantic with lavatory out of service. Who knows if there is an emergency.

This is not really our plane on a photo, since ours was parked far from a terminal and we were taken by the busses.

The Last Day of Pompeii

"Pompeii was an ancient Roman city (near modern day Naples) that was buried in AD 79 by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The people of Pompeii had plenty of warning that something was going to happen. For at least six weeks before the major eruption there were earth tremors and the water level sank extremely low. The intelligent ones left. The skeptical ones stayed."


After weeks of pouring rain, the weather has finally recovered. It was a warm, sunny day.
Since today was suppose to be yet another Judgement Day/End of the World, we sought on taking a walk and enjoy the "last" day.

We went to Manhattan Beach, a residential neighborhood in Brooklyn.


Each house is unique in its design and starting price is million dollars and more.

Spring day

Sunday has been finally a warm day, around 70°F.
Many people got out for a walk or run.
And the best place for that is near the water, overlooking the Verrazano bridge, Manhattan and New Jersey.
