Grand Tour Recap

The grand tour of Europe has been wonderful and full of amazing sights. These are some thoughts on each major city I visited.

Rome took you back in time with its classical architecture everywhere you look. Tile roofs and balconies can be found on nearly every building. The city's quaintness has a charming appeal.




Florence to me was a bustling little town full history and fabulous art. I will remember tower houses, stone paved streets and the best gelato in the world.




Venice was a beauty to behold. Again, quaint charm is found in its weathered buildings that line the streets of water. Venice is a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of life.




Paris is gorgeous. Breathtaking views are found everywhere. Stately architecture stands with dignity and poise and is what Paris is all about. Paris is the city of grey and white, a refined palate with charisma.




London. Magnificent. The play of ultra modern along with classical works well in this city. London is white and black, red brick, and slate roofs. It's prim and proper and funky fresh.




Frankfurt, like London has a flair for the modern side while staying well grounded on its traditions of the past.
