Global warming and Cold Winters
An informative article. You write important truths in language simple enough to understand, and that is to be commended.
But there is something that puzzles me. Seeing the weather forecast maps I know that the jet stream separates warm ...

Why Catholics honour Mary

Ancona, Italy: More Than Meets The Eye
@Veronica - While Ancona has its attractions, it's not nearly as full of world-famous museums, palaces, and archeological sites as compared to, say, the "big three" of Italy (Florence, Rome, Venice). So I can understand why it's not really a ...

Ancona, Italy: More Than Meets The Eye
Thank you, Frank! I have plans to post some more guides and overviews of some of the other lesser-known places and attractions in Italy (and Sicily) I've had the good fortune to visit. They definitely can help expand understanding of the country ...

Ancona, Italy: More Than Meets The Eye
Well written. This was a clear and informative guide to a part of Italy that was a closed door to me. Articles about places that are outside one's personal experience have the ability to expand the mind.

Lago Levico is still very un-commercialised and also still very Austrian/ German down to the food and the language. Very interesting to visit.
I did do a Wizzley page about a walk up the mountain to a Austrian fort which is now in Italy. ...

Rome: A Guide to the Eternal City
I have been to the Lakes north of Milan but not Lago Levico - that is an area I do hope to explore in the future, from Treviso to Trieste. This autumn we are returning to Venice for the Tintoretto 500 Year celebrations, and I'm still planning ...

Rome: A Guide to the Eternal City
I think it definitely would be worth an article, yes! Trastevere is a lovely area to explore and filled with so many great restaurants. We often fly in and out through Rome, spending time before moving on to our final destination, and always ...
