They often start lining up two hours before the shop even opens he said. I must digress. Central Frankfurt has a real lack of barbers, simply put - places where one can walk in the door and just get a damn haircut. Prior to my visit to Torreto, I stopped by 7 other … [Read more...]

The End of the Road: “I’ve finally made it around the world.”

December 8, 2018 by Pete Martin2 Comments

I’m tired this morning. It feels like the end of a very long journey. I sleep in, listening to the sounds of Parisian life outside my hotel. While it will be the end of this journey around the world with the last leg from Paris back to Frankfurt tomorrow, perhaps it’s the start of something else.

Italy Is Always A Good Idea

August 1, 2017 by Julie StevensLeave a Comment

I know this title normally refers to Paris, but for me, Italy has been on my mind and in my dreams since I first saw the movie "Only You" with Robert Downey Jr. & Marisa Tomei. The music, the cobblestone streets, the pasta, the lilt that accompanies each Italian word, and the romance. Bellisima! (Try to picture my thumb and fingers together waving in the air while I say this). There is so much to say about our trip to Italy, so you can expect … [Read more...]
