  1. Underrated Bosnian men, and Sarajevo as well Overrated The famous restored bridge in Mostar, Bosnia
  2. Underated Stockholm, especially near the Baltic Sea Slightly overrated Nobel Museum in Stockholm
  3. I love Paris at any time of the year, except January, February and March
  4. I was somewhat ok with the rest of Spain in the Winter, and very glad to tour the Prado. But I never ever gone back to Spain. I have mentioned before the vague thought of being in the same city as General Francisco Franco make me ill
  5. Perhaps be glad you were not in Madrid when General Francisco Franco was still alive. Dark, gloomy city in Winter
  6. Those are the rules Please give the lucky dog a great home!
  7. Unfortunately, I have never been on a cruise.
  8. I am confused about "tourist buses" when one could stay in Florence and/or Venice I stayed in a hotel in Florence a very short walk to museums. And often went to the Uffizi around 3:30 in the afternoon. I have stayed in that hotel in late June and earlier in the Sping
  9. Yes Yes, the Barnes Foundation is a bit of jumble. I keep forgetting the museum has paintings by Goya and El Greco. The Van Gogh paintings are easy because his art works are so we'll known. Cezanne is one of my favorite artist, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art also has many Cezanne paintings
  10. I read the Washington Post and The Atlantic on line with subscriptions. New York Times as well. Valuable to me when I don't watch television
  11. Agree. Excellent response. Isn't that what President Trump's old sister (the judge) also said to Donald when he asked why she didn't like Fox News.
  12. Yes, I could understand the gay story on "Gray's Anatomy" could be be confusing to children. Not sure what time G'sA is on now. Thanks to @samhexum for letting us know. However, "Taxi" was broadcast earlier than 10 pm when a gentleman wanted to date Tony Danza's character.
  13. I lived near many nests of bald eagles in rural Massachusetts when a child. Ugh
  14. Why do you believe the Barnes Foundation is overrated? The Matisse, Cezanne, Gauguin painting alone are worth the price of admission. Also Goya, Picasso, Van Gogh, Soutine. Hope it isn't because the paintings are now available to many more people in downtown Philadelphia,
  15. Mayor Frank Rizzo told visitors not to come to Philadelphia on July 4th because "it would become too dangerous.". In fact, it was a truly wonderful holiday, as was most of June and July of 1976. I still remember that Summer as being my best in Philadelphia. When Mr. Rizzo died I stood in line to honor him, and surprising I have never seen him in person, despite working for the city of Philadelphia. (Mainly to meet his wife and children).
  16. Overated Munich opera Underated English gardens in Summer (Munich) No, God vacations in Valley Forge National Park, which surprisingly has not been mentioned. And the Brandywine Art Museum has not been mentioned, or the Barnes Foundation in center City Philadelphia
