Day Zero C2C The Adventures Continues...

We continue to Live The Dream...

2013 C2C Adventure.  Mediterranean to Adriatic Sea.

The Isle of Malta and 3 key Classic Art cities in Italy; Rome, Florence & Venice.

For each day’s blog, I have omitted using a comments section.  Past experience showed a lack of respect by non-invited viewers to add non-family friendly ads and comments.  For those getting to the site from my e-mail, send me a note if you have something to share  (-:

This year's trip, Malta - Keystone To Mediterranean History.  Details @ Road Scholar #3215  http://www.roadscholar.org/n/program/3215

And to Italy. Italian Classics; Rome Florence & Venice Details @ Road Scholar #18206  http://www.roadscholar.org//n/program/18206

A link for last year’s adventure blog is here: 2012 GIMP Adventure – Galapagos Islands & Machu Picchu   http://2012-gimp-adventure.blogspot.com/

To simplify my work on this blog, will limit the blog to 3 photos each day – a triptych story.  Can 3 photos tell a story?  You be the judge.

A link will also be added for more photos taken that day.  Probably no more than 20.  For a 28 day trip – just over 22,000 snapshots.  So, what you will see is around 1%.

Each page will also include a few links that I feel will add to what we learned.  As Road Scholar touts – Adventures in Lifelong Learning.

An alternate web link to simplify your journey with us, use this one for mobile devices:

Photo 1.  Is the book series by Enid Blyton that got me interested in making my life an “adventure.”

Photo 2.  Shows our house as we wonder – what will change over the month we are away?

Photo 3.  My “home” is also the city of Detroit which has been in the news too much showing “ruin porn.”  Yes, there are ruins here.  Let’s compare it to the things we will see spanning more than 4,000 years.
