My travel blog of my month in Italy and London- Summer 2012
The Musée National du Moyen Age is housed in the Hôtel de Cluny, one of only two remaining medieval homes in Paris (the other is the Hôtel de Sens in the Marais). The building was founded by the rich and powerful 15th-century abbot of Cluny Abbey, Jacques d’Amboise, who constructed his mansion over the ruins of a Roman bath.

Goodbye Rome. I am leaving tomorrow. I will miss you. When a person travels abroad he or she supposedly changes. I’m not sure if I have or not. More than anything I feel like I have left little bits of myself along the way, in Florence, the Netherlands, and I’m now preparing to leave a bit of myself here in Rome, alongside the Trevi Fountain.
Sorrento
Torre Argentina- CATS!
i went for a wander around Rome today.
It could be worse. Seriously. Rome’s public transportation system is SUPER confusing, and there are all sorts of rules and laws that I’m pretty sure I would violate if I hadn’t been told about them. For example, you need to buy a bus ticket either at a newsstand or a Tabacchi shop, not at the bus stop. Although some ending stations do have ticket machines. But don’t count on it. You can also sometimes buy a ticket on the bus, but again, only sometimes. So don’t count on it. At least it’s not as busy as some of the Boston busses at rush hour. And there are no Red Sox fans to deal with, which is nice.
