Today I’m continuing my Mediterranean cruise tour with Barcelona part 1: the exterior of the Sagrada Familia. I’m planning three Barcelona posts. I have too many Sagrada Familia photos to cover the church in a single post. And then I have a number of other city shots that I’ll be sharing in a final Barcelona post. …

Today I’m continuing my Mediterranean cruise tour with the French Riviera part 2: the Monte Carlo Casino. Officially the Casino de Monte-Carlo, I created a separate post for it because I took so many pictures of the French coast. It was way too much to put the entire French Riviera excursion into one post.

Today I’m continuing my Mediterranean cruise tour with the French Riviera. After a short and sweet tour of Pisa, Italy, I’m sharing a longer tour of the French Riviera, which is one of those amazing destinations that truly lives up to the hype.

We had a single day to see Florence and Pisa. As we’d never been to either city, we decided to see both, which is…a lot. And it means that you don’t get a ton of time in either city. We’re glad that we saw Pisa, but we would have loved more time in Florence. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get back there someday. For now, I hope you enjoy this tiny tour of Pisa and its crazy Leaning Tower. …

I’m continuing my Mediterranean cruise tour today with our time at the Accademia Gallery in Florence. As I mentioned in my first Florence post, we had a very short amount of time in Florence. We spent most of our time in the city outside. The one interior tour we took was the Accademia Gallery. Best known as the home of Michelangelo’s David, the Accademia also features a wealth of other Michelangelo sculptures and a sizable collection of paintings by Florentine artists, such as Pontormo, Sandro Botticelli, Andrea del Sarto, and Domenico Ghirlandaio.
