Monday, March 24, 2008. Check out the Vatican Museums. An entire article could easily be taken up solely by listing the names of all the galleries and museums comprising the Vatican Museums. Naming the artists and their works would take up several more. Describing them takes entire catalogs, held in the Vatican Library. Nearby is the Gallery of the Maps, named after its painted walls. Forty different panels devoted to varying regions around the globe form a collection that was once as practical as it...

Thursday, February 14, 2008. The Seine River in Paris. Whether seen by a long, leisurely walk or from one of the many excellent tour boats, the view along the Seine in Paris is a delight. The river flows nearly 800km (480mi) from Dijon through Paris and into the English Channel. But even the short section through the city provides enough sights to satisfy the most discerning traveler. But not only youth and age are represented along these shores. Elegant beauty, in the form of the Alexander III, is a...

Sunday, August 17, 2008. The one and only, Casa Milà (La Pedrera). In the ultra-fashionable neighborhood along Passeig de Gràcia stands one of the most unusual examples of Barcelona architecture - or anywhere else in the world: Casa Milà, otherwise known as La Pedrera. The first name is drawn from the patron who commissioned renowned architect Antonio Gaudi to build what became an apartment complex. The name is unfair. The balconies that wind around the exterior of the site are full of sea shapes. Th...

Thursday, March 6, 2008. The Fountains of The Eternal City of Rome. The fountains of Rome have an ancient and glorious history. Examples range from the Eternal City's glory days in the 1st century AD to its even more glorious days during the Renaissance to the 18th century and beyond. Other cities offer fountains that are barely beyond the utilitarian. But not Rome. Rome must have a water display that is a work of art, because Rome is itself one enormous museum. The Fountain of Neptune adjacent to The Mo...
