Temple of Artemis at Euphesus Review
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) — “Impressive scale, gaping lack of technical clarity.” Last week, visited the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus with the explicit goal of studying construction methods and structural logic. Also, as a rising senior in an architectural school, hoped to land an internship. Left with admiration, a notebook full of unanswered questions, and no internship.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria Review
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) — “Excellent visibility, questionable wayfinding.” I arrived in Alexandria yesterday, guided by the famed Lighthouse of Alexandria, which, I must admit and give credit where it's due, is impossible to miss. The beam is visible from miles out, the structure itself an undeniable marvel. If your sole goal is not to crash your ship, five stars.

Destination: Wedding! Celebrating parts of Tuscany
Tuscany Located in central Italy, Tuscany is the region in which you can find the historic cities of Florence, Pisa and Siena. 16 UNESCO World Heritage sites exist in the region, creating a special opportunity for history . Yet, it can feel like a tale of (more than) two cities with the beautiful contrast between the art and architectural wonders of Florence and the endless vineyards and olive groves of Montepulciano. From North American airports, you would take a flight with one stop in a major European city (Rome, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich, Amsterdam, etc) before your arrival in Florence. The stunning countryside views from memorable films such as 'Much Ado About Nothing', 'Under the Tuscan Sun', and 'Gladiator' are accessible by car or via numerous day tours on Viator. Local trains are very popular during high season on TrenItalia and TrenNatura (the Nature Train) to capture unique scenic views.
