http://stevenbreaux.blogspot.com/2010/06/getting-around-italian-style.html
The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Getting Around - Italian Style. Enough of the food and wine - here are some travel-related images from our trip. The Cable-Car up to Orvieto. The Metro in Rome. Instructions for using the Metro in Rome. Giro d' Italia, the bicycle racing's grand tour of Italy, promoted in the window of the finest restaurant in Montalcino. A "Critical Mass" bicycle protest poster, outside a Metro station in Rome. The Appian Way, south of Rome.

The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve: There's no tension like ethnic tension
http://stevenbreaux.blogspot.com/2010/09/theres-no-tension-like-ethnic-tension.html
The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Monday, September 27, 2010. There's no tension like ethnic tension. Weeks after political tensions resulted in the president fleeing the country and the opposition party taking power, things got even worse. Many sources, including the UN, have claimed the riots were orchestrated from outside forces, with multiple reports of organized groups of gunmen in ski masks shooting both Uzbeks and Kyrgyz to ignite the riots. That I highly recommend. There's a pretty good c...

The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve: June 2010
http://stevenbreaux.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Saturday, June 26, 2010. I took my girlfriend to a Roman brothel. Since it's discovery nearly 250 years ago, archeologists, historians and tourists alike have been fascinated with one site in Pompeii more than any other - the Lupinar. Translating to "den of she-wolves," the Lupinar is purported to be the world's oldest surviving brothel - and is the most often visited site in Pompeii. As popular as ever. Fresco over a bedroom doorway showing the "services offered".

The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Thursday, October 14, 2010. Just a brief post to let everyone know that I'm back in Seattle after a great election observation mission in Kyrgyzstan. Over the next few days, I hope to finally be able to post a few comments and photos through which I can share my experiences. Counting the votes on election night in Karakoo, Kyrgyzstan.

The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve: Off with their Heads: a tour of the Vatican Museum
http://stevenbreaux.blogspot.com/2010/09/off-with-their-heads-tour-of-vatican.html
The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Off with their Heads: a tour of the Vatican Museum. Although I'm not a big fan of religion I do have an insatiable curiosity of art and culture, so a visit to Rome wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Vatican Museum. Fig leaves abound, and not just in paintings of Adam and Eve. While the rest of Europe was enjoying the Renaissance and Enlightenment, a series of popes decided that certain parts of the human anatomy were obscene...

The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve: January 2011
http://stevenbreaux.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Friday, January 14, 2011. It turns out that naming names and calling out legislators gets their attention sometimes! Instead of just reading my three-minutes worth of prepared testimony in support of Senate Bill 5021, I ended up fielding some very interesting questions - and stimulating some great discussion - among the Republicans on the committee. It wasn't all-out hardball, but it wasn't little-league either. Posted by Lisa Wessling and Steve Breaux. Yes - abs...

The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve: The Eternal City
http://stevenbreaux.blogspot.com/2010/08/eternal-city.html
The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Monday, June 21, 2010. Photos just don’t do some things justice, including the ruins of ancient Rome. 8211; so called not because of its size but because of the. Colossal statue of Nero. That once stood nearby – is so enormous in scope that it can only be taken in by your own eyes. According to legend, the nearby. Is where the city was born. The centermost of the seven hills of Rome, it’s where the twin brothers. Remnants of an aqueduct on Palatine Hill. However,...

The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve: Orvieto
http://stevenbreaux.blogspot.com/2010/06/orvieto.html
The Continuing Adventures of Super Steve. Saturday, June 19, 2010. As we planned our trip Lisa and I realized that we had an extra night between our departure from Tuscany and our arrival in Rome - and agreed that it was my responsibility to surprise her with a special destination. Being high on a hill is only one of the benefits of Orvieto's location - the other is the kind of hill it's on, composed of a soft volcanic rock called tuff that is easy to tunnel through and excavate. Many of the chambers ben...
