Culture, Europe, Florence, Italy, Travel, Tuscany

I have been slacking on blogging lately and this post is long overdue. If you read my previous post about the start of our Tuscan holiday you know it did not get off to a good start. While it was not one of my favorite trips, looking at the pictures now I can hardly complain. …

Travel, pittsburgh

Rev3 Quassy 2013-Pre-Race Day Report

I got up around 7-7:30am on Saturday morning as the sun beamed in the open shades of room #329 of the Comfort Suites.
