Visit Edinburgh, the Highlands and the Edinburgh Festival

In tal caso, you can not make a jump in the Land of Nessie, otherwise known as Scotland, in the extreme North of the UK (oh, judging from the posters that invited to participate in the referendum for secession, perhaps, the term “UK” will soon be wrong! 🙂 ).

The ideal time for your visit is definitely in the middle of summer, aligning the visit to Scotland with the conduct of’Edinburgh Festival, one of the most important events of street art in the world. Dozens and dozens of free events, for a fee, all’aperto (if time permits!), al chiuso, music, comedy, theater will involve you and, believe me, se capite well l’inglese, is an extraordinary experience! …Read the rest »

Visit Iowa

– “…Iowa!”
– “Interesting, but… cos’è?”

certainly, among Europeans, is not the most famous American State, many will struggle to even place it on the map but, I have to admit that it turned a pleasant discovery.

Located in the center of the country, a day trip from Chicago, and a couple of hours from Omaha, NE (I bet some lover of Big Bang Theory knows this city), is essentially a… only, large, wheat field. 🙂
