The Hilary and Lisa Travel Journal

About the Book

Travel along with Hilary and Lisa as they discover Italy and England.  Be with them as they visit the Colosseum, encounter a skeleton in the Catacombs, and ride a gondola in Venice.  Enjoy the treasures of Italy – A boatride with a ninth grade Italian class, the wonders the Uffizi in Florence, and a visit to the oldest spa in Italy.

After leaving (with regret) Amalfi, Pompeii, and the Isle of Capri, shop on the Via Condotti in Rome, and toss coins into the world-famous Trevi Fountain.

Then fly with the girls to London to learn about journalism.  Visit a haunted house with disturbing results.  Take a trip through England and Scotland and enjoy Shakespeare’s birthplace of Stratford upon Avon.

Finally, celebrate with them as they read their first stories, pictures and by-lines in the London Star.

You’ll enjoy their adventures, and maybe even learn something!
