Italy 2023: Bologna sights
Monday After checking into our apartment we walked about 15 minutes to the center, then onward to a view of the famous Bologna towers. There are a lot of power lines at the base, so it is hard to...

Poland 2022: daytrip to Łódź
We chose Łódź (pronounced Woodge) to visit as it was said to have good street art and interesting architecture, all of which could be done as a day trip from Warsaw. Our pre-booked bus tickets on...
Poland 2022: Warsaw sights + transportation
Leaving the airport Since we weren't in any hurry after we landed, and since our apartment was near the Central train station, we had planned to take the train into town. However, after wandering...
Spain 2022: Valencia street art
Before we left on this trip, I researched a bunch of street art places and muralists that I wanted to see. As with most street art, a lot were still visible while others had been painted over or...
Week in Florida: Daytrip to St. Pete
We started our afternoon in the Edge district with cuban sandwiches at Bodega. We ordered at the outdoor window and grabbed an open table inside. We were so hungry we ate everything before thinking...
South Korea: Seoul, day 2 – Changdeokgung, Ihwa Mural Village, korean bbq, Blacklist
Today was our full day for exploring and while I wanted to see 'all the things', I knew our energy levels would accommodate only one palace, so Changdeokgung was my choice. Entry to the grounds was...
Memory Monday: Japan and South Korea manhole covers
One of my favorite things about travel is discovering art in unexpected places. I photographed these artistic manhole covers in Tokyo, Hamamatsu, Osaka, Minoh, and Seoul. It's worth slowing down and...
Weekend in Dallas: sites
Downtown Our first stop on Sunday was the Dallas Museum Of Art. There was a lot of open space to the point where it felt like half the museum was empty. However, the standard collection is free, so...
Italy 2017: Florence sights and shopping
I have never met anyone who has been to Florence and didn't like it. It's probably a mix of the food, the gorgeous architecture and museums, and all the leather goods for sale. There is certainly a...
Winter Weekend in London: Sunday
For our last day in London we planned an itinerary that took us to four separate neighborhoods. First, we walked along Bayswater Road for the weekly Sunday Art Exhibition. Unfortunately, not many...

Malaysia: Georgetown street art
Georgetown has a lot of well documented and popular street art, so we spent a solid hour or two per day (before the temperature became oppressive) exploring the streets and enjoying the sites. All...
Netherlands 2015: Amsterdam flowers and art
We spent most of Saturday with our friends, so our touring of Amsterdam was primarily on Sunday. In the morning we went to the Bloemenmarkt, something we had inexplicably missed on our first trip....
UK 2015: London – Day 2
