Nice post. The best touristy of all is when I took our youngest son and my niece to London and Paris. We got on a double-decker bus to the end of the line and did not care where we ended. Doesn't everyone have to see the Tower of London? How about the Eiffel Tower? The Lincoln Memorial? There are some tourist attractions which are simply irresistable.. I always return to the Piazza San Marco in VCE. It is special; always special.
