Descripción
Traveling Europe and immersing into the culture. This is what we want. My wife and I have traveled extensively through Italy from Peastum to Sorrento to Naples, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Montepulciano, Cinque Terre, Milan, Alba, Asti, Lake Como area, Bolzano and the Dolomites, Verona to Venice and Carpi to Sicily. No tour bus. We would researched the area on our own, rented a car outside the cities and also traveled by train. But 2 week trips are not long enough. Looking forward on getting away from the crowded area in the big city and LIVING ( and working) in Italy. Outside of Italy, we followed the Roman Empire, through, Spain, France, Germany, England and a few forts outside of Edinburgh, Scotland
