You know, I would love to make a road trip across the USA again – especially in an electric vehicle. Next, Shelly Tucker reviews…

A tourist’s look at pattern and ornament in Sultanahmet, Istanbul Nicole didn’t provide too much information about herself, and (full disclosure!)

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Show & Tell blog carnival! Cherrye Moore of My Bella Vita kicks things off with a post entitled Auntie Adventures: Italian Beach Bums in which an outing with her nephew becomes quite memorable – just not in the way Cherrye had intended it to. As she describes: I’m convinced there really is something to that Aria Calabra that changes a once innocent, well-meaning, pooch-petting boy into a hormone-ranging mostro.
