...maybe Dinda wanted to update me on her family. Who knows? In any case, I was intrigued. The message said that "Dinda sent you photos on Tagged." Below that message was a link.

...directly to the best stuff at the Uffizi, avoid the crowds at Versailles and save money everywhere are guilt-free. He pushes his readers to picnic for lunch and save their money for dinner. He sketches out amusing walks through commercial quarters from Antibes to Venice that link the ancient world and the modern. And Steves is so keen for his readers to have fun that he delights in telling them what to skip. Athens merits two days, tops, he insists. "See it and scram."
