Northern Coast of Sardegna

As recommended by the National Geographic, we all five piled into a rented Fiat Punto and traveled along the very Northern Coast of Sardegna, hitting all the major spots. Here are some of my favorites from the trip!

The guinea pigs. Yummy?

Sardegna, Italy: A Series

Well, it's official.. we are back from Sardegna and it definitely ranks among one of our "top places." It is an absolutely GORGEOUS place! We flew into Alghero, Sardegna, and our adventures, taking place along the north-western coast, included Neptune's Grotto, Capo Caccia, Castelsarda, Alghero, gelato, the millionaire square, a road trip along the Northern coast (as recommended by National Geographic), fantastic seafood, driving like the Italians, vineyards, sea urchins, olive groves, Fisherman's risotto, kiwi shaped seaweed, crystal clear water, Penne Alghero Style, local red wine, a pizzeria without pizza, and much, much more.

Since the number of photographs I took numbered in the thousands, I will posting a "Sardegna Series" over the next few days. Hope you enjoy!

and the world traveling continues

Tomorrow, I leave the US. Roanoke to Atlanta to Frankfurt International. I am scheduled to land at Frankfurt International at 7:45 am and leave for Sardegna out of Frankfurt Hahn Airport at 3pm.. yes, the very same day. Talk about world travelers. I have had a VERY fun, eventful, busy, great trip home, but after two full weeks I am ready to see Alex, the pups, Sardegna!, and get back into "real life."
