The Story Of Us

Things have been busy so I haven't had the time to edit any of the 1000's of photographs I have so I going back and pulling something out of my archives. This above photograph was taken over 17 years ago. It was taken for my college thesis. I had a photography minor and I did my final project on hands. This is my brothers hand and I remember taking it in the bathroom because we didn't want to accidentally set the house on fire.  While I no longer sell this one in my Etsy shop I do have it listed on Redbubble, You can find this picture on pillowcases, and blankets and shower curtains and many more products.  Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle             Society6     

We are at a midway point in our trip now. After landing in Naples and spending a few days in Amalfi ,  Rome and Florence we now head to Cinque Terre meaning 5 towns and pronounced sheen·koo teh·ruh which we of course learned after returning from our trip.  We took an early train out of Florence to La Spezia, a port city and the gateway to Cinque Terre. From La Spezia we bought a CT train pass that allowed us to hop on and off the trains connecting the five towns - Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare.

How are we already in October? Well here I am to transport you back to Italy in August. We started our trip in the Amalfi Coast and took a train to the historic Roma . Now we continue our travels and head to Florence.  We stayed at the Frame Hotel which was close to both the train station and the Duomo. But before I get into the city I want to talk about the hotel. The Frame Hotel in Florence, Italy, is famous because it occupies the same historic building where the stolen Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci was recovered in 1913 after it was taken from the Louvre Museum in Paris; the building was then known as the "Tripoli Hotel" and the thief, Vincenzo Peruggia, was found staying there when the painting was retrieved. And to honor that story the hotel is full of specially commissioned Mona Lisa paintings. I must also add that the man working the front desk at this hotel was amazing. He made sure the room was ready earlier as M had a conference call. He gave us tips on
