Old World Global Warming Tour Summer 2024

 



 
Years in the making, months in the anticipation, weeks in the doing. We went London-París-Venezia-Firenze and then a week in Comacchio before launching back home to California. Pushing 60 years old and this country mouse finally made the trip to the old world. I have made literally dozens of trips to Latin America, but had never been to Europe. It was about time! Definitely an excellent crash course in how the world works for this aspiring student of the world. And to put it into contemporary context: it was very hot, climate change extreme heat hot. It might be the old world but this is a different world we live in now. Get ready people. I am so glad I made the journey, touching the history of Europe puts all the exploring I have done in the new world of the Américas into better perspective. The photos here barely express all the learning, and the videos below are simple and unsophisticated, but they are good and fun to share all the same.
