An Amazing Journey–Part Five

Rome offered incredible art and architecture

Rome, Italy

This summer I had the amazing opportunity to cruise the Mediterranean with the entire extended Nelson Family. We took in some amazing art, architecture, and 3000+ years of history. Our journey will be in day-by-day blog entries.

Rome showed us the amazing artwork of the Renaissance, including the works of the Sistine Chapel, and the amazing architecture of places like St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican City.

Aix-en-Provence

This summer I had the amazing opportunity to cruise the Mediterranean with the entire extended Nelson Family. We took in some amazing art, architecture, and 3000+ years of history. Our journey will be in day-by-day blog entries.

Aix-en-Provence was lifelong home to the father of modern art, Paul Cézanne. Our trip to Aix included a guided tour of the art and architecture and the fruit and vegetable and flower markets. We managed to take in an exhibit of the Pearlman Collection at the local art museum, which featured several of Cézanne's watercolors.
