It works, but the wifi internet speed drops once it passes through the extender.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/p2150005.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOur American home with the oversized dining room table that could fit 10 large chairs.

For 1 Euro, you use the straw in the bottom tray and blow into the hole on the left side of the machine. The machine then determines your blood-alcohol level. "Green" means you are okay to drive, "Yellow" means you should not drive, & "Red" means you fail and definitely should not drive.

The original church was constructed in 1192 with various restorations over the centuries. The spire is 142 feet tall. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_4093.jpgIMG_4093.JPGInside St. Patrick's Cathedral.....So, this St. Patrick guy was born in Britain when it was ruled by Rome in the early 400s. As a teenager, he was kidnapped by Irish pirates (yeah, I never heard of those either) and taken back to Ireland where he was forced to work as a shepherd. After 6 years, he escaped and came back to Britain, eventually entering the Roman Catholic church he was sent to Ireland to bring Christianity to the Druids and Gaelic people of Ireland. In the mid 400s, he converted countless people to Christianity later becoming a "Saint" by the Pope because of his efforts.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_4091.jpgIMG_4091.JPGOn Day 5 - we spent our time touring the city of Dublin before our evening flight back to Germany. The city streets of Dublin are very festive and busy. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_4053.jpgIMG_4053.JPGThe Irish Potato Famine story....this is a "Famine Ghost Town". The famine occurred between 1845-1852. In 1840, the population of Ireland was 8 million. In 1860, it was 6.5 million (for the whole island of Ireland). Over a million died as a result and over a million left Ireland. At this time, the land was owned by wealthy British nobles who had taken over the area centuries before. The people living on the land paid taxes in the form of either food of money made from selling food. The primary food grown was the potato because it produced a lot of potatoes from just one planting. From the potato, one can eat it, make bread, and a lot of other things that could not be obtained from other crops. The famine was caused by a fungus that causes potatoes to rot in the ground, actually started in Mexico, spread to the eastern United States, and then made its way to Europe. Why was this such an impact to Ireland? The potato was the main source of food and income for the Irish at this time. So, as the crops began to fail year after year, the Irish could not eat nor could they pay taxes, and therefore they were forced to leave their lands and homes. They either fled to the Burren region of Ireland (and we saw how desolate that place is) or left Ireland all together.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_4017.jpgIMG_4017.JPGhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_4007.jpgIMG_4007The gothic church is about a 1/4 of the size of most churches, but the details are all the same. —2015-08-22T21:09:36+00:00monthlyhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/2014/10/23/ireland-day-3-bunratty-castle-to-the-cliffs-of-moher/https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/screen-shot-2014-10-19-at-1-30-38-am.pngScreen Shot 2014-10-19 at 1.30.38 AMWe left Killarney for a 2 hour drive to Limerick, where we joined a larger tour group for our drive to the Cliffs of Moher before ending our day in Galway.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3645.jpgIMG_3645The rain clouds and blue sky above green fields.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3646.jpgIMG_3646https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3649.jpgIMG_3649With the rain that Ireland gets, rainbows are very common....so, I can see how the legends associated with rainbows, Leprechauns, and gold got started in Ireland, as we saw 3 double rainbows during the day at sunrise and sunset.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3658.jpgIMG_3658Lookin' for me pot o'goldhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3702.jpgIMG_3702We have seen hundreds of castles throughout Europe.

There is a draw bridge, hidden holes where people would throw boiling tar or water onto people trying to get inside....one of the more movie like castles I have seen. Outside Bunratty Castle. Built 1425. This is the 4th castle structure built at this location. The first was a Viking structure built in the year 900. 900!

So, the sheep see the dogs as a threat, therefore the dogs are able to make the sheep move with commands and whistles. Amazingly, these commands were not "yelled" but just spoken, and both dogs knew what to do....even having the ability to separate two sheep from a group of about 10. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3448.jpgIMG_3448It was raining during our stop, so we are under a shelter watching. The shepherd stood at the bottom of the hill and gave commands to his two dogs to go up the hill to the sheep and make them come back down.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3417.jpgIMG_3417Later in the morning, our tour stopped to watch a local sheep farmer demonstrate how his border collies herd sheep. The shephard also explained the different breeds of sheep that he has that are found throughout Ireland. And, he talked about how he trains his dogs to herd and how much open land he herds. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3371.jpgIMG_3371A little Irish Coffee?

Imagine that in the middle of this harbour is the Titanic...yeah, THAT TITANIC. This was the last port of call to pick-up passengers before heading out across the Atlantic. The ship was anchored, and smaller tender boats took passengers to the Titanic to board. At its time, the Titanic was the largest ship in the world (so small compared to today's cruise ships!). Not only is this site famous for the last stop of the Titanic, but this harbour saw another historic event...the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, another British cruise ship that was sunk by Germany U-boat torpedoes in 1915, which became a strong influence in the US entering World War I. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3346.jpgIMG_3346https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_31121.jpgIMG_3112Blarney Castle: Originally built in the year 1200, later destroyed and this one was built by 1446.

The attendant holds you, as you lean back to kiss the stone. He then wipes down the stone with an alcohol swab between kisses. To be honest, I did not have a clue how wide that gap was to reach out to to kiss the stone. The legend goes that those that kiss the stone will be blessed with the gift of gab of great eloquence. Before safety measures were put into place (i.e, the attendant, the grating below, and the hand rails), those kissing the stone had to be held by their legs as they reached out to kiss it. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_3285.jpgIMG_3285St. Colman's Cathedral is one of the tallest buildings in Ireland.

Why El Diablo? In the Timanfaya National Park on the southwest corner of the island, this area is nothing but 20 square miles of volcanic rocks and soil that looks like and feels like Hell on Earth.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5112.jpgIMG_5112To aid tourism, a road was created through these lava fields around the now extinct volcanoes so that people can drive across to see the landscape and marvel at the volcano craters. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5108.jpgIMG_5108Here at the Timanfaya National Park, we watched demonstrations of how there currently is still volcanic activity happening on the island today. The shovel was used to pick up the rocks so that we could touch them. We could not hold them because they were too hot to hold for a long time.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5114.jpgIMG_5114Digging a little deeper, the temperatures quickly rise. Here the demonstration is placing straw into a pit that is about 2 feet deep. As soon as the straw is placed down there, it catches on fire. Also, to demonstrate the heat, there is a pipe that is dug into the ground where water was poured down it, and 3 seconds later a geyser of steam erupted 20 feet into the air. I do not have a picture of this, but do have the video which I will post later.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5119.jpgIMG_5119To demonstrate the constant heat, a larger pit was dug with grating placed over it. On the grating are potatoes being roasted. This is to demonstrate how the locals still today have outdoor barbeque pits used for cookinghttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5137.jpgIMG_5137In this part of the island, the eruptions occurred in 1730 to 1736 covering about 1/3 of the island. In this 6 year span, hundreds of volcanoes began to erupt with lava flowing out. Here, the lava eventually cooled leaving behind these rocks and a useless landscape.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5154.jpgIMG_5154....here looking directly down into a craterhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5171.jpgIMG_5171Several movies have been filmed here because of its otherworldly scenery (Planet of the Apes for example)https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5179.jpgIMG_5179It is hard to imagine the terror the people must have felt as 1/3 of their island was on fire for 6 years in the 1730s.

We were here on January 6th, which is the Day of Epiphany (Catholic Holiday in reference to when Jesus was presented to the Three Wise Men 12 days after his birth). Since it was a holiday, nothing was open, which helped us travel Barcelona in what would have been rush hour. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5821.jpgIMG_5821After about 30 minutes of travel west of Barcelona, the mountain of Montserrat comes into view. In Spanish, it means "saw tooth". Christopher Columbus named the Caribbean island Montserrat after this mountain because of the similar look.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5822.jpgIMG_5822It was a clear and beautful morning, but as we entered the valley to the mountain, a thick layer of fog was present. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5869.jpgIMG_5869Then, at the top, it looks as it we are floating on clouds with the fog below.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_5838.jpgIMG_5838Halfway up, the fog layer starts to end, and we can see the mountain top.

The sausage (wurst) can either be Weiß (white) or Rot (red). The wurst is cooked, sliced and covered in a ketchup type sauce, then sprinkled with curry powder. It is served temperature hot, but I do not find it that spicy. Typically, currywurst is served with french fries (pommes frites) ...note that in Germany, fries typically come with mayonnaise and not ketchup. Then, to eat it, you are given a very small wooden or plastic stick with two prongs on the end. This is THE MOST POPULAR fast food in Germanyhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1625628_10203337863235110_1104630791_n.jpg1625628_10203337863235110_1104630791_nOrdering a Döner Kebab and watching the meat being sliced off the lamb is divinehttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/10556481_10205719555215921_4653439347733598919_n.jpg10556481_10205719555215921_4653439347733598919_nEasy to find a walk up stand selling various types of sausages (wurst)https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/23741_10200342320068403_267303195_n.jpg23741_10200342320068403_267303195_nNordsee offers up quick and tasty fish meals, whether a sandwich or just a fillet, both are delicious and served with fries, pasta or veggies.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1610089_10203337862595094_724092168_n.jpg1610089_10203337862595094_724092168_nWarning: the Döner can be a little messy to eat, but tastes oh so good!https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1380029_10202503595738944_495052235_n.jpg1380029_10202503595738944_495052235_nWhile pizza is not typically a fast food, there are places that will serve by the slice.

Our last visit to Rome was in mid April 2013, and the temperature was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer this time. It is early morning (10am is early in Rome), so the Steps are not crowded. But, by late afternoon, hundreds of people will be here sitting on the steps people watching. https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_85661.jpgIMG_8566Section of the Roman Water Aqueduct. These structures were built to carry drinking water from far away water sources into the city. It worked because there is a slow gradient (downhill) from the water source to the end which allows gravity to transport the water. The longest of these were 50+ miles in length. Amazingly, some of the construction of these started 100BC, which is an amazing engineering and surveying feat to plan and build this infrastructure.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_8562.jpgIMG_8562Beside the Coliseum is the Constantine Arch, built in 315 AD in tribute to Emperor Constantine's victory in battle. Constantine was the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity....built a city for himself in the eastern part of the Roman Empire in modern day Turkey. The City is now Instanbul, but it was once called Constantinople (who gets the reference?). BTW, this arch was built in the 4th Century, and its design has been copied in a number of places, most notably the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_8569.jpgIMG_8569The Circus Maximus...the largest sports arena in Rome, where the famous chariot races were held. About 2,000 feet in length & 400 feet in width (almost a mile long oval track). Along the banks, there was room to hold about 150,000 people to watch. Built about 200 BC. Today, it is an open air park that still holds events.

One of the oldest, intact, and still used buildings in Rome (if not the world!).https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7261.jpgIMG_7261The roads may have two lanes painted on them for traffic, but there will be 4 lanes of cars and these motorbikes darting in and around all the cars (it is surprisingly orderly chaos)https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7287.jpgIMG_7287Entering the Pantheon through very large doors, you see the dome structure with the hole, which lets the sunlight inside. From my viewpoint as an engineer, this is the largest unsupported (no arches or beams) concrete dome structure in the world, which is a feat considering it was built 2000+ years ago. BTW, the hole is there so people can look up to God and so God can look down to the people.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7298.jpgIMG_7298Piazza Navona (town square named Navona) built in the 1st Century AD. Now a space for markets of artists lined by cafes. We did the tourist thing and had lunch here. TRAVEL TIP: eat at a cafe a few blocks from popular attractions...while our food here was good, it was twice the cost of other places.2023-11-14T11:27:13+00:00monthlyhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/2015/06/06/checkout-our-interview-at-the-website-multicoolty-com/https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/multicoolty.jpgMulticoolty2015-08-22T20:44:01+00:00monthlyhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/2015/06/09/i-will-be-traveling-soon/2015-08-22T20:42:48+00:00monthlyhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/2015/06/29/spring-in-tuscany-and-florence/https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7474.jpgIMG_7474https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7521.jpgIMG_7521This statue of similar size to David is called the "Rape of the Sabine Women" - rape meaning stealing of women, which goes back to the 750 BC time period when the Romans invaded and took the local women as their wives.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_3928.jpgIMG_3928The view from standing at the door of Santa Crocehttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7493.jpgIMG_7493At the Palazzo Vecchio, which is a castle built by the ruling Medici family in the 13th Century. The building is now the Town Hall. Outside the entrance stands a replica of the Statue of David by Michelangelo.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7518.jpgIMG_7518Just walking around the plaza is like walking in a museum by itself with all the free standing statues.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7527.jpgIMG_7527Bronze statue from 1560 showing the Greek hero Perseus with the head of Medusa.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7530.jpgIMG_7530This replica is the same size of the real one that is now located inside a museum nearby (the wait was 2 hours to get inside, so we had to skip that). The original statue stood in front of this building from 1529 to 1851. It was made from one solid piece of marble 6.4 tons in weight and 17 feet tall. The attention to detail is amazing as up close you can see veins, strands of hair, etc....all made from a hammer and chisel.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7542.jpgIMG_7542This bridge is called the Vechio Bridge and was constructed over the River Arnot in 996 (yep...over a 1,000 years ago). It was constructed to allow the Royal family at that time a passage way from their palace, across the river, to the town center. They would walk across along a top passage way, while below it were various sellers of meats and items for sale. Today, the Vechio Bridge still has the vendor stalls along both sides for the many tourists that pass through.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7547.jpgIMG_7547The view from the Vechio Bridge over the River Arnothttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/img_7556.jpgIMG_7556One of the most dominating structures in Florence is the Cathedral of Saint Mary (mother of Jesus).

It should be noted that factories like this make and sell the perfume in plain packaging, but the same perfume is sent to companies like Chanel for their packaging and adding probably $100 if not more to the cost. At the end of the 20 minute tour, you end up in the gift shop (imagine that) to purchase a selection of perfume, soaps, lotions, etc.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cotedazur.pngCotedazurThe French Riviera, stretching from the Italian border to the east, going westward to Toulon, France.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_7664.jpgIMG_7664View of the many yachts as our ship approached Cannes.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_7673.jpgIMG_7673This would have been my alternative to visiting St. Paul...to stalk the stars as they walked the red carpet.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_7680.jpgIMG_7680The Carlton Hotel in Cannes is one of the most popular for the Hollywood A List.

This is the site of the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. I remember watching on television the archer who shot his lit arrow up to the cauldron of the torch to light it....of course, in real life....this is MUCH smaller than what I thought it would be! https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8110.jpgIMG_8110A view of our cruise ship (Norwegian Epic) from the Olympic Stadium https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8111.jpgIMG_8111The view from the Olympic Stadium of Barcelona belowhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8132.jpgIMG_8132The style is Gothic + Art Nouveau, which to me, almost makes this look like something from a cartoon with its features. FYI - the Christmas Tree? It is fake and placed on top of the building during construction. This is a tradition for most construction projects in the Western Hemisphere, where the tree symbolizes the top of the structure being built...you should see this from time to time when larger buildings are being built by construction workers. The tree is removed during a "topping off" cermony when the work is complete at the top.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8140.jpgIMG_8140Here is a model of what it will look like upon completion (by 2026)https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8161.jpgIMG_8161Stepping back, you can see the "masks" in the balconies. The style of Art Nouveau is characterized by curvy lines rather than straight ones, and Gaudi is considered a master at this style.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8160.jpgIMG_8160Also, Gaudi designed many buildings in Barcelona. This particular building is made to represent the love that Gaudi had for the theater. The balconies are actually masks that would be worn, which is easier to tell when stepping back from the building.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8162.jpgIMG_8162His buildings take on a cartoon like feel to themhttps://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8164.jpgIMG_8164This pedestrian street was lined with vendors selling lots of souvenirs to tourists. This is the part of Barcelona where you have to be very mindful of pickpockets. Notice the guys selling real, genuine fake Prada bags on the right....the bags sit on top of a blanket, and each corner is tied to a rope. The guy stands there with the ropes in his hands, and if he sees the Police, will pull the ropes and all the bags fall into the blanket and he runs off. Admittedly, I waited to watch and see if this would happen, but alas no police.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_4022.jpgIMG_4022Sunset as we left Barcelona....So ends our three days in Cannes France, Majorca, and Barcelona.

Leaving Sorrento, we drove along the Amalfi Coast to the village of Amalfi, and then from here we took a small boat tour between the seaside towns of Amalfi to Salerno.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8212.jpgIMG_8212This part of Italy is beautiful! And, as you can imagine, a few famous people call this area home. This home is that of the Italian actress Sophia Loren....not too shabby!https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8191.jpgIMG_8191https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8223.jpgIMG_8223The 6 to 8 lane highways leading out of Naples begin to turn into single lane roads that start to wind its way through the mountains. The drive offers some very nice vistas along the way to Sorrento.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8236.jpgIMG_8236We had a demonstration of how inlaid wood art is made, which is very popular in this part of Italy. Here the artisan trims very small pieces of thin, colored wood to build the picture. Then, the pieces are assembled to form the picture being made....https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8237.jpgIMG_8237...this is an example of a finished piece. This is not paint, but various shapes of dyed, thin wood that have been cut out and placed together to form the picture. After it is completed, it is then covered with a glaze to protect it and to give it a shine. The finished pieces are either wall art or is inlaid into the tops of tables or small boxes, etc. It is very fine craftsmanship. To give an idea of cost...this is a wall art piece maybe a 12 inches by 16 inches and it was on sale for $900.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8244.jpgIMG_8244Examples of small wooden boxes with the inlaid art on top.https://worldthruoureyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/img_8253.jpgIMG_8253I don't really shop, but I do like to look at the local items for sale.
