Not many foreigners, especially not many Italians, make it to Oregon. I am not quite sure why very few people are aware of its beauty and incredible wilderness, but possibly this adds to the experience of the ones who are lucky enough to visit this chunk of the west coast. We drove up to Oregon from SF, ready to get into the wild after our great "urban" time. It was interesting to follow changes in the landscape while driving, going from agricultural planes to hi...

Being in SAN FRANCISCO meant 4 very dense days in which we literally enjoyed every moment,place and people we came across. We stayed at Alex's place- he is Ed's best mate from high school and has a very nice flat in Marina, from which you have a great view of the golden gate bridge. This is the case most of the year except during this time when the bridge literally disappears in the cold fog coming from the ocean. We had to walk on it to actually realise it was t...

I had been looking forward to coming back to San Francisco for a while now. I had great memories of the city from when I visited about 10 years ago and a few good friend's have recently been telling me how great it really is. I was very curious to see it again with "adult eyes" and get to live it for a few days. The other aspect of my anticipation was seeing one of my best friends, Alex, who I had not seen for 4 years. The night we arrived at his place he welco...

Malibu is a nice place! I thought it was going to be a flashy retreat for the rich of LA but that's not entirely the case.

The beach where we spent the afternoon was in a quite wild rocky cove. The water was as clear as it was cold but quite a few people in a wetsuit were fishing with fishing...

Hey hey! We spent the last days either on the beach or driving up the coast so not much time for blogging, but we now got to San Francisco where we are having a pretty amazing laid back time and can finally sit down and type about bits and pieces we met on the road. California welcomed us with bright sunlight and massive hamburgers + piles of pancakes. Knowing how much we enjoy eating and how we never want to leave anything in the plate american portions are lite...
