I have a confession to make. At first, I was very wary about this project. I didn’t think I would be able to come up with any “rich moments” worth writing about. Oh how wrong I was.
Italy, Urbino, even my home in Southern California has provided exceptional opportunities for moments worth remembering. Once I was [...]
Defining Italy brings to mind many words: faith, love, beauty, art, history, death. But if I had to chose one, I’d pick beauty. Each town I’ve visited in Italy inspires me in a different way; Rome, history and intrigue. Florence, art and contemplation. Capri, beauty and mysticism. Pompeii, archeology and death.

In one week in Italy, I have spent over four hours on the cell phone. That roughly translates to over $100 dollars in cell phone minutes. I can’t be upset about it because I love to talk on the phone; it makes me feel more comfortable about being away from home and it helps me [...]
Vacation time in Italy and I was invited to set sail with the Italian family who had hired me for the summer to teach English to their eight-year-old daughter. We were to sail on the Mediterranean off the coast of Croatia for one week, and spend the second week on the island of Viz. Having [...]
