| Yes! It's true! I will travel for pastries!!!! |
 |
| This is a simple snack while waiting for our train to Rome....that center pastry is hand folded with about a thousand layers.....a time honored process that just brings me to my knees. From the Civitavecchia Port the train into Rome right by the Vatican is around 9 euro round trip. |
 |
| In Sicily these fresh made right there gelato sandwiches are very popular for a late, weekday breakfast, beat that cheerios |
 |
| the aux de province farmers market in France prompted a picnic, just a 60 euro / 20 minute taxi ride from the ship port in Marseilles, this is an area I've returned to several times. The people, the food, the charm are all pretty incomparable. From there Casis is not far (also by taxi) and a world class seaside resort I also adore. The seafood is so sweet... |

| Cheeses and charcuterie in an open air market in the south of France |
 |
| Handmade chocolates, fruit jellies and marzipan in Barcelona |
 |
| In Spain every imaginable fruit is fresh squeezed and ready to carry away 1.5 euro |
 |
| Tapas in Barcelona |
 |
| Lynette on a camel in Tunis, weeeeeee! This man offered Patrick 3 camels for me, can you just imagine me in a Muslim country?! Yikes, don't think they'd let me stay long. |
 |
| Patrick Ward and Lynette in the Tunisian Marketplace, this is a very foreign country! The tip of Africa, it had changed very much in the last 8 years, the new President has made it far more user friendly and taking the train from the port into the marketplace is a fun adventure. |
A video clip of a few gondoliers in Venice, they are mesmerizing....did you know only 2 or 3 new licenses for operating a gondola are given out a year? with over a hundred applicants it's a very coveted and honored profession in Venice. We stayed three lovely days at the Hotel Rialto overlooking the canal and of course the Rialto Bridge then a train to Genoa where we boarded a MSC cruise around the Mediterranean.
