I am doing something a bit different this morning. Most people know of the Trevi fountain. Throw a coin in and you will return to Rome again, so far working for me. 3 coins in and back for my 4th trip. Today I am going deep underground to the ancient Roman aqueducts that feed the fountains as well as other Roman ruins created over 2000 years ago. I will have access to many places closed to the public on this trip so watch for video later.

The bus ride over was interesting. That big bus went down roads made for VW Bugs. Passed on really nice Spanish castle but could not get a good photo of it out of the bus. Here for 2 days working on videos then on to the Rock of Gibraltar. I always wanted to visit it even as a little kid so I know it is going to be something a bit different.

We have a very busy week coming up. Today we are getting ready for a 4 hour bus ride at 7AM tomorrow to Malaga, Spain. After 3 nights in Malaga a 3 hour train ride to the rock of Gibraltar for 1 night then a 2 hour ferry to Tangiers Morocco. That will gives us about 2 months in 6 cities in Morocco before I long dreamed of trip to the southern part of Africa starting with Kenya and the wilderbeast miagration.

https://ourbigescape.com/easy-dutch-poffertjes-recipe/ Poffertjes are delightful Dutch mini pancakes that are fluffy, buttery, and bite-sized. This traditional Dutch recipe involves making a batter with flour, yeast, milk, and eggs, which is then poured into a special poffertjes pan with small, shallow indentations. The pancakes are cooked until golden brown and puffed up, resulting in a soft and pillowy texture. Poffertjes are typically served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a pat of butter, making them a beloved treat in Dutch cuisine, especially during festivals and special occasions.

These are pictures from my 2018 trip to Kiev and Odessa, Ukraine. This is from Odessa which is a city under attack from the Russian Navy today. I am so hurt and disappointed in the world as a whole including the United States for not supporting this free country in its war. I am trying to find a way to contribute more to this but since I am to old to get into the Ukraine this is pretty much all I can do. I am trying to find a way to help them more and will continue to try to enter the Ukraine not as a war participant but to work and help with humanitarian efforts there. Please share this and help me make sure a beautiful country like the photos show is not destroyed.
