The Cliffs of Sorrento, Along the Amalfi Coast

One more photo from my travels in Italy, this one along the water in Sorrento.  I love the way these hotels and residences are carved into the sides of the hill, offering great views of the area.
Next week it will be back to a regular posting schedule here at Flyaway Cafe.  Vacation is over […]

Walking the Ruins at Pompeii

I’m still traveling, and wanted to share another photo from the road.  This one is of the ruins at Pompeii.  It was a warm day, and I spent hours wandering the ruins and marveling at this ancient civilization.  There’ll be more about this fascinating place in a later post.

My First View of Rome

Rome has been wonderful so far, and I regret that my time here was so short.  Everywhere you turn there is such a sense of history and wonder. 
My first real impression of the city was coming up from the subway (Colosseo stop) and finding this in front of you.  It literally took my […]

Tribune Tower Looks Over Oakland

One of my favorite buildings in the Oakland, California skyline is the 21-story Tribune Tower.  Originally opened in 1923, it was the home of the Oakland Tribune newspaper, with the top floor of the clock tower as the home for KLX Radio.
After the Tower was damaged in the 1989 Loma Pieta earthquake, the newspaper […]

Cathedral of St Helena - A Little Bit of Austria in Montana

Seen from a distance the Cathedral of St. Helena is impressive, but when you get inside, impressive doesn’t begin to convey the beauty of the neo-Gothic Cathedral.
Located in Helena, Montana (530 North Ewing Street), the Cathedral is modeled after the Votive Church of the Sacred Heart in Vienna, Austria.  It was opened in 1914 […]
