Travels on Planet Earth - A blog
A guest post on sleep deprivation on the long journey from San Francisco to Rome. This is a guest post from freelance writer and tour escort Angela K. Nickerson. Her first book, A Journey into Michelangelo’s Rome (Roaring Forties Press, 2008) combines her great passions – travel, art, history, and Italy – in one volume. [...]
