there is soo much to see in the walls of the tower of London, give yourself 2-3 hours totally worth it, and I was fortunate enough to have guided tour by one of the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters) who was so professional, knowledgeable, and entertaining. My personal favorite were the...
There were only a handful of tourists when I visited. The ruins here were once a port city until the sea receded and malaria & other causes led to the city being abandoned. The site is not a Pompeii or Herculaneum, but is a close 3rd. It takes a good couple of hours to walk ...
you’ll naturally get to view it from numerous vantage points across the city. As fun as it is to photograph it from a distance, a visit to the castle is an absolute must. You’ll want to give yourself plenty of time to explore Edinburgh Castle, because it is not just...

As I said, though, that's a tangent. What all of this boils down to is what a RepublicanHousewill do next year. Because that will largely be the same no matter what happens over in the Senate. First on their spleen-venting agenda may be impeachment. After only being used once for th...
a stately villa. The most prized pieces are theworks by Albrecht Dürer, including the Young Hare from 1502 (original is displayed twice every 5 years, but an exact copy is shown daily). Other paintings & sketches include works by Monet, Picasso, Chagall, Klimt, Raphael, Warhol, and ...
Although some works, like Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man," have eluded the Monuments Men and may never be recovered, there have been a number of major successes. In April 1949, for example, they proudly packed $80 million worth of paintings by Botticelli, Rubens, Rembrandt and many ...
