If
you’ve ever watched a program on the Travel Channel then you’ve heard the
remark which advises you to seek out a “local” to tell you where the best
places to eat are. Following this advice
you can avoid the overpriced tourist locations.
This
advice also applies to what to see while you are there. In his book, Rome – A
Photographic Tour, the author, Alexandru Ciobanu, take you on a “personally”
guided tour of this capital city of Italy.
Using
his skill as a professional photographer, Mr. Ciobanu has selected the best
view possible for each of the sites he’s taking the reader to on this tour of
Rome. The descriptions, with numbers directing you to the picture involved, cut
to the chase without the flowery additions so prevalent on guided tours you pay
for.
With
both of us being retired, I’d so hope to do some traveling in Europe with my
dear OH; but the events of the past few months this might not be able to become
a reality. This book has to a large extend taken us there, without the sounds
and smells of the city itself; which is why I’m giving this book 5 STARS.
I
had originally won an e-book version of this book from the author through a
giveaway on LibraryThing, but I couldn’t download the files he had provided.
Luckily, this book had been offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD on Amazon, which the
author had advised me to take.
