Japan 2026 Begins!!
Cannot believe this trip is finally starting! Was there ever a trip more anticipated? And I worried about that a lot, you don’t want your expectations to be dashed, and the 2023 trip was about as prefect as you could get.

Todi is a hilltop town, so the Romans couldn’t exactly run aqueducts up to it; instead they built huge cisterns in which to store rainwater. The main piazza is built on top of these, and the locals… Continue reading
