About Me

My photo
I am a bohemian nomad, someone who acts and lives free of regard for conventional rules and practices, but also one who moves according to the seasons. After traveling to over 100 countries and all 7 continents over the past 12 years I feel that I truly subscribe to the words of Mary Poxon, who said. "I sought to see the amazing as normal and the daily as unique, and in that swirling paradox I found the joy of travel." I will be forever in pursuit of new sights and adventures and hope that maybe I can convince a few more to give budget travel a chance. Budget travel gives those with little money an opportunity to travel and those with money an opportunity to travel longer.

ITALY, Rome (Pantheon}

 Tuesday October 3, 2006

I went to the Piazza Novona which was being repaired and went back to the Pantheon to see the inside. Raphael's tomb is inside. The Pantheon is the most complete ancient Roman building remaining today and is an architectural wonder. Its dome is exactly as wide as it is high, supported by pillars hidden in the walls. It is located in the Piazza dell Rotunda. Also pictured is a fountain in the middle of the piazza. Almost had my wallet stolen by a pickpocket on the city bus. Thankfully a woman brought it to my attention as she chastised the couple next to me trying to get my wallet. Now I use a moneybelt when traveling. Another great day and spaghetti again for dinner.

NOTE: In Italy the house wine is really inexpensive and tastes great. It's  called house wine because that is the wine they would serve to family and friends ....at their house.
