not the hop on hop off bus tour of Berlin by Janice Nigro When I went to check in online for LAX-Frankfurt-Berlin, seat numbers up to 94 were available in economy. Yikes, was I going to ride the A380 to Europe? Or was this extreme economy seating? It was the A380. When I saw the... Continue Reading →
I am obsessed with so-called June gloom! I feel invisible on the beach in the very early mornings, and the photos are nearly black and white except for the lifeguard huts. I find it fun to enhance the color of the hut in the mist because there is no color in the background. Although you... Continue Reading →
The pink city by Janice Nigro There is nothing like a personal tour of a city especially in a foreign country.You will get to the best restaurants or events without having to work at it, and in the local language. I did not do my homework for my brief tour to Toulouse, France, after some... Continue Reading →
Driving in LA with the GPS woman by Janice Nigro I do not have a car, and I live in Los Angeles. Everything happens in cars here, and the total number of hours you spend in a car just to get to work is not something you really want to calculate. Visiting friends are somewhat... Continue Reading →

Recently, I flew 11.5 hours to Munich from LAX, picked up my luggage at the baggage claim in Munich, checked my bag for Roma, re-entered through security, flew to Roma, took the Leonardo Express to the city, purchased a train...

Reading the signs by Janice Nigro I don’t know what it means when you run into someone that you haven’t seen in 20 years in a place where neither of you ever are. Or when you hear the voice of a person in a big city museum that belongs to a cousin living two states... Continue Reading →
Firenze and the selfie by Janice Nigro German airports seem to have one answer for weight gain. It is down the stairs and up again, and if the plane is remotely parked, you get to do that all over again. It is as if the architects planned it that way to prepare passengers like me...

Nothing much happened today until about 19:00 when I saw these colors in the sky from my window. I ran with my camera just a bit late, but managed this sunset photo on the beach in LA. I really love these when the marine layer filters the sun so you can look directly at it... Continue Reading →
