It’s been a crazy year so far…and the crazier it gets, the more I’ve been lagging in my posts. I’ll be embarking on a trek across Western and Eastern Europe today…planning on visiting Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Rome, Florence, Perugia, Naples, Positano, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Bethlahem, Dead Sea, Jericho, Mykonos, Santorini, Sophia, Belgrade, Dubrovnik, Pertcane, and [...]
