The Surprises You Will Find in the Middle of Italy, Like San Marino

My most common reason for visiting a place is because of the view.  I moved from the Midwest to Connecticut because of the view.  I went to Iceland and Switzerland and countless other places from Niagara Falls to Oregon to the Grand Canyon just for the view.  So, it was of no surprise how interested I was in the tiny Republic of San Marino when I saw the view.

The tiny republic of San Marino is one of the smallest countries in the world.  It's number five on that list with only 61 square kilometers or 24 square miles of land that's mostly mountain.  It is the oldest independent republic in the world and has a high GDP.  It was founded in the year AD 301 by Saint Marinus who went there to take refuge from religious persecution.  The republic was obviously named after him and has survived all these years, even though it sits smack in the middle of Italy's mountain country.  The city of San Marino is the place that I wanted most to visit.  It's medieval, and that just sucks me in.

San Marino has castles.  It's an old land from a forgotten time of kings and lords and forts for protection against the many regimes that would try to take it over.  They must have done all right, since they're still there, and still autonomous.  Today, San Marino is mainly seen as some kind of tourist trap and a great shopping place since there is no sales tax.  I hear it's very popular with Russian visitors.

There are a couple of things to know about visiting San Marino.  First, it is in the middle of Italy as I mentioned.  It is the only independent republic aside from Vatican City that is completely surrounded by another country, and that country is Italy.  Rimini, Italy is the closest airport.  There is a bus service to Rimini that is considered San Marino's international transportation service.  Most people just drive in for a day trip anyway.  You won't need your passport to cross the border, since it's all part of the European Union, but you can bring it and get it stamped if you like.  It's a souvenir type thing.  They do have their own currency in San Marino, but they do accept Euros.  It's also very popular to mail postcards and things from San Marino for the postmark and the stamps.

The city of San Marino and Mount Titano are the main focus of a trip to San Marino.  There are three fortresses up on the 700 meter high mountain and they are all fabulous historical places to visit.  The city's medieval areas are on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.  To be honest, it's not often that you see a single mountain with fortresses on three separate peaks.  The photo ops are amazing, the view is amazing, and the buildings are amazing.

Here's another great feature.  You can walk up to the forts, but that's a lot of work, and this is Adventures for Anyone, not Adventures for those who can climb mountains.  So, San Marino has a solution.  They have tram service to the hilltops.  This makes it easy for anyone to go up and be impressed by the forts and the view.

Central Italy, and most of Italy is filled with ancient towns and beautiful churches and San Marino is no different.  It was founded by a priest for heaven's sake.  Beautiful churches were a forgone conclusion once I heard that.  The churches are beautiful, and of course the country is almost completely Catholic.  Just remember that everything in this town is ancient and the whole place is on the side of a mountain.  There are no flat roads or walkways in this area.

Up 700 meres is not where you will find your average town.  This was a stronghold that made it through the Ottomans, Napoleon, Mussolini and Hitler.  They're tough and completely out of reach.  But, they do have military.  They have a changing of the guards every day at the gates.  It's all mostly part of the tourism in this tiny country, but it is cool to see.

San Marino is one of those great places to go and wander with your wallet and you camera.  It's known as a tourist spot for shopping.  But you can spend the whole day wandering museums, the walls, the fortresses, the churches, and eating at great restaurants.  It's one of those nice places to go and experience history without the fast pace of someplace like Rome.  There are hundreds of tourists during the summer months, but it's still relaxing and fun to look around.

There are just under 200 official countries in the world.  San Marino is the oldest tiny independent republic.  It is the fifth smallest country in the world.  It is the third smallest country in Europe, and it is one of only two countries that is completely surrounded by another single country.  It's a unique spot in the world with a lot of history, amazing ancient architecture, fabulous museums, great tax free shopping, easy borders to cross, and views that you will never forget.  So, traveling to a place like San Marino is something that I would do just for the view.  I would make sure I had my passport stamped, and I would so send postcards home.  I already have money from there, so why not go?  It's a great place to take a day off from touring Italy.  It's that side trip that you'll remember for the rest of your life.  Come and see the amazing triple fortresses that overlook the city of San Marino in the country of San Marino.  Enjoy!

Here's Some Stuff You Probably Didn't Know About Iowa

Iowa.  It's one of those places that you just kind of know is there.  Most of us have never been to Iowa.  I have.  I saw a lot of corn there.  A whole lot of corn.  I did see some other things too.  What I did find out was that Iowa has some of the strangest attractions ever.  I've seen some whoppers in my day, but Iowa makes the most of movies, religion, terrain, corn, art, and food.  You wouldn't believe some of the things that you find in Iowa.

Now, we all know that Iowa has one of the most famous and popular state fairs in the country.  We know that there are beautiful natural wonders there.  We know that Iowa is one of those places that you drive through on your way to the Dakotas to see Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills.

There are quite a few roadside attractions in Iowa that will confuse, amuse, and intrigue you.  In Avoca, there is a Beetle Spider.  Albert the Bull lives in Audubon.  The world's largest strawberry is in Strawberry Point, and there is a giant statue of Pocahontas in Pocahontas.  That's just to name a few.  The arts and creativity are alive and well in Iowa.

Most of Iowa is pretty flat to be honest.  There are a few hilly places and Snake Alley in Burlington is one of those.  It rivals San Francisco's Lombard Street as the windiest road in the country.  It's a popular landmark and a marathon uses this location every year as it's focal point.

I'm not big on baseball, but even I loved "Field of Dreams."  Kevin Costner was great, but so is the location of the movie set.  It's now a tourist attraction and you can come and see where the dreams came true.  I guess it's true, "if you build it, they will come."  It came to Dyersville.

Father Paul Matthias Dobberstein immigrated here from Germany in the 19 century, and with him comes an interesting story.  He had Pneumonia and vowed that he would build a shrine if he survived.  He did, and the Grotto of the Redemption was born in West Bend.  It's an amazing place that took decades to build.  Just remember to be very respectful.  This is a religious site.

With Catholicism comes art and in Waterloo we find a replica of the Sistine Chapel done in spray paint.  Yes, it's in a restaurant.  The artist is Paco Rosin.  It's not the only work of art around.  Paco Rosin is a very well known local artist.

Continuing with the arts, we have Matchstick Marvels.  This is a gallery/museum in Gladbrook that is a showcase for models made with matchsticks by Pat Acton.  It's got some amazing works and it's a great little stop while on a road trip.

February 2, 1959 is a day that will live in infamy in Clear Lake.  This is the place where Buddy Holly's plane crashed.  Now, you can visit the crash site and pay your respects to this rock legend.  It's not the only plane crash site that is now a tourist attraction.  I went to one in northern Maine one time too.  If you want to celebrate the singer properly, you can visit the Surf Ballroom as well. It was the site of his last concert.

Ida Grove is full of castles.  It's that simple.  There are several different kinds and they are all around the tiny little town.  Byron Godbersen is the architect and the unique structures are something that you don't find every day in Iowa.  It's a great roadside stop, especially if you love photography.

So, there are many roadside attractions in Iowa that you never would have dreamed existed.  But, for Trekkies, Riverside is special.  This is the Adventure for Anyone to the max.  If you love Star Trek, then you know very well that Captain James T. Kirk is from Riverside, Iowa.  He will be born there on March 22, 2228.  Trekkies the world over are waiting.  Riverside has built themselves a little Star Trek museum and there are references to Captain Kirk all over town.  The town is tiny, but they have a great claim to fame.

So, if you wonder about Iowa, don't wonder.  They're creative, whimsical, artsy, religious, and very movie worthy.  If you ever want a unique place to take a road trip, check out Iowa.  Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Northern Ireland has been in the news a million times in my lifetime.  For the most part, it was about the struggle between the Catholics and Protestants and the terror attacks of the IRA.  It was the focus of terrorism for a while, even above and beyond what was going on the Middle East.  It was the topic of so many things, including a Tom Clancy novel, that I was surprised when it all kind of faded away.  A guarded peace is alive and well in Northern Ireland, with the two opposing religious sides trying to get along.  It's not easy to put all that anger away and work to be a whole country.  But there's one time a year that Northern Ireland, and a lot of the rest of the world come together and celebrate.  That day is March 17th -- St. Patrick's Day.

In America we do all kinds of parades.  They have them all over the country.  We drink green beer, we wear green clothing, we eat Corned Beef, some folks do go to church, and in Chicago they dye the river green.  We have a really good time on St. Patrick's Day, but do most of us even know about St. Patrick?  They do in Northern Ireland.  This was the favored home of the Patron Saint of Ireland.

You'll find parades all over Ireland as well, with one of the biggest being in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  Parades have been the favored way of celebrating St. Patrick's Day since 1762 when the first parade took place, not in Ireland but in New York City right here in America.  It caught on and now there are parades everywhere.

So, how did St. Patrick become the saint who is celebrated today?  Well, Northern Ireland is a beautiful place with beautiful people.  St. Patrick was born in Northern England to a tax collector, however.  At age 15 he was kidnapped by some Celtic outlaws and put into slavery in Ireland.  He worked as a shepherd until he escaped.  He chose to return to Ireland with a calling to serve God, and spread the word of the Catholic Church by explaining the Holy Trinity with a shamrock.  That's the legend anyway.  It could be true.  Reportedly St. Patrick passed away on March 17th, 461.  He was proclaimed the Patron Saint of Ireland and the rest is history.

In Northern Ireland there is a St. Patrick's Trail, and it is very popular for pilgrims and tourists.  Newry is one of the stops on the trail and is a great town to visit with many ancient sites.  It has a cathedral, as do most towns in the area that is dedicated to St. Patrick.

Downpatrick in County Down is one of the most visited stops on the trail.  There is a rock outside the cathedral there that marks St. Patrick's final resting place.  People come here to pay their respects to a man who changed the way Ireland views the world.

Who could blame him for wanting to come back to this amazing place?  The land is beautiful, the cathedrals are beautiful inside and out, and the people are real and friendly and deeply religious.  It is interesting that a country so divided by religious beliefs are so devoted to a man who only supported one of those two religions.  Every St. Patrick's Day, Protestants and Catholics alike celebrate the day.  Catholics even take a pass on Lent for one day to celebrate the feast with traditional foods such as Corned Beef and Cabbage.

Armagh is one of the big stops on the trail.  St. Patrick spent a lot of his time in Armagh.  This is where he established a church, monastery, and eventually an Archbishop's House.  This was his home, and this is where he did a lot of good work for a lot of good people.

So, if you've ever wondered where it all started, it was in Northern Ireland.  It didn't really start in Ireland proper.  But, no matter what part of Ireland you live in, they all celebrate St. Patrick every March 17th.  The parade may have started in New York City, but it's the method of public celebration of St. Patrick's Day all over.  Corned Beef and Cabbage has become the staple food for the occasion; so much so that Catholics break their Lenten fast every year for that one day.  Beer is the normal drink for the occasion with a little green dye in many places.   So, you can follow the trail of St. Patrick from Belfast to Craigavon, to Newry, to Mourne, to Downpatric, to Armagh.  There are many sites to see and churches and cathedrals too.  And don't forget the view.  The Emerald Isle has some of the most amazing scenery in all the British Isles. It is also home to some amazing hiking trails. So, come for the beer and Corned Beef, but stay for the view.  Take the time to learn about the amazing saint that this holiday celebrates.  So, whether you're in Belfast at a parade, or at the parade in Chicago, Illinois where they dye the river green; take the time to investigate and celebrate the Patron Saint of Ireland.  Have a beer and toast St. Patrick's Day.  Enjoy!

Do You Need to Find an Alternative Way to Travel?

Have you ever met someone who traveled all the time?  Did you wonder how they did it?  Did you ask them and all they had to say was that it was easy?  Frustrating, isn't it?  The thing that you need to  know is what some alternatives are, and where to find the information about them.  Fortunately, the internet provides us with information on alternatives to traditional travel.  It's fabulous.

So, you don't want to pay the price to go with a group tour and see all the normal touristy stuff, and you don't want to go on your own and pay for all the hotels and stuff.  I get it.  Resorts cost a fortune and you don't really get to see much.  Cruises are convenient, but again, you don't get to see much.  Group tours are fine, but again, you're a tourist.  Travelers and tourists are different.  Travelers want to see the world and see how other people live and see what other countries are like and see festivals in other cultures and art and technology and architecture.  The food alone is worth the fuss.

There are a lot of things going on out there.  Timeshares are the old school.  You pick a spot, invest in a property, and for a short time each year it is your place.  It's great if you want to see the same place each year.  It's a great way for a family to hit the beach each year and have family time, but it's not the way to see the world.

Travel clubs have become pretty common.  You pay a fee to join, and you can get great deals on various resorts all over the world for really great prices.  The fees are not that steep if you have the time to make it worth the price.  Just remember, you still have to pay for the property that you stay on, it's just a lot less when you're a member.

HomeAway, VRBO, and Airbnb have become very popular.  This is your chance to swap houses, rent a unique property and so forth.  This is a great alternative to hotels.  I like it, because you can cook instead of go out.  You can blend in and not look so much like a tourist to the locals.  You don't have to deal with a staff for every little thing.  You get a little feel for the place that you are visiting.  Just make sure that you plan it down to the last detail and get all the information on the place that you possibly can.   Some people do lie on these sites, and you don't want to show up in a foreign country with no place to stay.

There are many ways to stay.  If you are a student, look into group trips specially for students.  Most of them offer discount prices that no one can beat, and the trips tend to last for weeks at a time.  This gives you a lot of time for a great price to really get a feel for a location.  In addition, if you do it right you can get some college credit for going on vacation.

Another great way to stay is to visit a monastery.  Here you get a blast of culture and get to visit other countries.  The monasteries aren't only cost effective, but the hosts are amazing.  You get a little culture, a little religion, and some great time to improve the soul.  You probably will help out a little, but it will make you feel great, and you will make friends that will last a lifetime on this one.

But, let's say you want to travel.  You don't just want to fly somewhere for a week or two.  You want to take off and see the world.  There are ways you can do it.  Traveling aboard a container ship is something that I've talked about before.  You can buy a room on the ship and sail way cheaper than on a cruise ship.  Plus, the ships go everywhere, and it's a true adventure.  They have recreational facilities on board and food options, entertainment and staterooms.  It's a lot of fun, and you get to see how some of the largest vehicles in the world run.

Backpacking across Europe is a time honored tradition which has turned into backpacking around the world.  If this is your choice for adventure, you might want to look into hosteling.  Hostels are famous for being cheap, clean and networked so that you can go from one to another all around the world and avoid the cost of a hotel room.  Some of the hostels are as cheap as $10 per night.  A lot of them do have shared bathrooms and some even have shared bedrooms.  Check on the details before you book.  There are networks devoted to this practice.

For over 50 years the Peace Corps has been one way to truly get out there and see the world.  You can join up for two years and live in another country doing work on behalf of the United States for other countries.  It's noble, it looks great on a college or job application; and who couldn't use a little help on their resume these days?  It is a commitment, but it is a way to really get out and go.

Volunteer vacations are great.  You get to do something spectacular, and it makes your travel cheap.  Some places will provide lodging in turn for your help.  Some places won't.  Check into the details before you book.  But the world is your oyster on this one.  You can go to an archaeological dig, or tag dolphins, or vaccinate children, or teach, or build houses.  The opportunities are virtually endless, and it's a great experience.  It doesn't look bad on a resume either, by the way.

WWOOF.  That's right.  This is Willing Workers On Organic Farms.  This organization is all over the world.  You can literally work your way around the world going from farm to farm with these guys.  You work for your food and lodging and you can finish one obligation and just move on to another.  They can all be booked through the one organization, so it's easy.  It's one of the most unique opportunities for travel that I've ever heard of.

And, you can just work abroad.  There are organizations and websites that will help you find a job in another part of the world and you can just make arrangements and go.  Pick a spot, figure out the work visas with the help of the organization you signed up with and go live and work in a whole new place.   There are all kinds of jobs, so check into it.

If you truly want to see the world, there are hundreds of ways to do it.  You could work for an airline or on a cruise ship, or with a travel service, or as a travel writer.  There are so many ways to travel that I can't name them all.  Travel is a choice.  If you've spent your entire life being told that you need to buy a house and work in an office and be a respectable adult; you've been lied to.  The world is a place of exploration.  Explorer used to be an occupation.  Think outside the box.  Live the life you desire.  See the world.  You can't take it with you, so why worry about owning it?  In the end all you have are your memories, so make good ones.  Enjoy!
