Travels with Doug

ITALY 2019


ITALY Fall 2018

Our goal for the trip was a search for beauty and pleasure, pleasure that we could experience now and incorporate into our lives as memories and even, as new experiences at home. Beauty – art, music, architecture, food, daily life. When we travel, we usually incorporate visits to historic places (particularly pre-history), art museums, concerts and botanical gardens. Pre-historical art makes me feel connected to the continuity of life. I also missed the small activities that are a part of what makes Italian life feel beautiful.
