Wonderful world! https://clip.place/c/wonderful_world/videos These videos are a record of travels by my family and me. Canada is our home but our roots and interests extend to faraway places. We want to see and experience as many of them as we possibly can, and savour them years later when our memories fade. Hopefully, you will find something that interests you in them too.

We've been there several times and this time it was the turn of Rome and Tuscany. What stood out? In Rome, the equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. In Pisa, the walks along Borgo Stretto and Via Santa Maria. In Florence, the Uffizi Gallery. In Siena, inevitably the cathedral inside and out. Not to be outdone, in the village of Monteverdi in the Tuscan Hills, a tiny food store selling boar meat and an incredible selection of local wines. Can't wait to go again!
