Best of Europe



From James Martin, your Guide to Europe Travel
We've been all over Italy, tasting food for a new iPhone app tentatively called "Tuscany for Foodies." It's not bad work. Our latest foray was into marble country and the little town of Colonnata for what they're known for, lardo, a wonderful food that makes most Americans wince. Next week we'll be in Istanbul, where they promise me it's going to rain for the first couple of days. Oh, joy.

Living History - Experiential Travel
Sure, you can go to a European museum and just gawk, but hey, there's a whole set of new open air archaeological museums that offer some educational and fun historical opportunities, from rowing dugout canoes to lighting fires without matches.

How to Tour the Marble Quarries of Carrara
Yep, you can tour the famous quarries and then eat the famous piggy backfat that made the miners supple and strong. Or not.

Explore the Austrian Wine Regions
Perhaps you hadn't considered the fine wine of Austria. Well, they're very good, and, for many of us, quite novel.

Provence Pictures
Ok, it's been a bit wet and chilly in Italy this fall, and you always think of Provence as terminally sunny, right? Well, it's darned sunny in the pictures in this index, so let them take you on a little exploratory journey of the south of France.
