Stonehenge. It was a little chilly on this visit, and a little rainy. I guess typical weather.

Swan Boats. Nice place to visit.

Last Supper. Tour tickets were scarce since we waited to the last minute, but it worked out.

Duomo. I did climb to the top, much like other Cathedrals I have been too.

Gates Foundation Campus. Absolutely stunning place with really sharp, warm people. People that want to make a difference.

Istanbul night cruise. Good friends, great food.

I had wanted to get my nails done while I was there. Instant rejection. Tried several places with the same result. But at least there was not a physical incident. Depends on the country.

Monticello. One of my favorite historical tours. I have tried to go to many of the historic presidential homes. Washington, Adams, Madison, etc. I believe they are planning to close Mt. Vernon for renovations soon. For anyone local, maybe it will be open for Christmas and then close.

Capetown. Trip was brief but good.

Stopped in Pisa as part of one of the side tours. Tried to digitally eliminate the tourists in the pic. Not the greatest version, but I wanted a clean picture. I did take the stairs to the top. Easier than the Cathedrals in Milan and Florence.

Luckily no rain until the end of the trip. You never know in October. Food tours were outstanding. Though I did go to the Hard Rock once.

One of my favorite places to visit in Rome...

I have been fortunate to work for many firms with London offices. I covered most of the touristy spots I was interested in. Looking to head to Scotland, Liverpool, and other areas outside of London.

Cantebury. Had always wanted to make the trek. Took the train from London and skipped the bus tours. Great experience.

Obligatory tourist stop. Crowds were larger this time around, but patience is key.

I am ready to go back. Not my first trek to Florence, but probably the best planned out. I recommend the food tours and the side trips outside of Florence.
