Barcelona, Spain

It was all about Gaudi for me in Barcelona. From the first building I saw of his, I was hooked and began to search for more of his creations. What an amazing creator and innovator.

By a friends suggestion, I stopped and had the best paella and natural clams.

I've never seen clams in this shape of a shell before.

Roma!

As the saying goes, if you throw a coin in the fountain, you are sure to return to Rome. Looks like we will all be coming back.





Next stop......Pisa and Florence

The sweet town of Positano




Sorrento


Third time is a charm. We stopped at two of the locals favorite pizza joints only to find they were closed an Sundays.  What we found was still good Napolitano pizza!


Leaving the Bay of Naples








Next stop....Roma!
