There’s a lot of really good zoos in Florida like Miami MetroZoo, Busch Gardens, Animal Kingdom and The Jacksonville Zoo. There’s also a number of interesting smaller attractions like The Central Florida Zoo and Gardens, Petting Zoo Ocala and The Palm Beach Zoo. The Central Florida Zoo and Gardens offers some interesting features like a railroad ride that travels around the park, a treetop trail and a large splash pad which should catch the interest of the families younger members. The zoo is a bit small but what it lacks in quantity is made up in presentation. The exhibits include some Florida natives like brown bear, panther, alligators and a number of reptile exhibits. Historic Sanford offers a large selection of four star eateries along with a number of creative bar snack menus at the many drinking establishments along with some really good barbecue at a restaurant installed

Good Pizza Places In Civitavecchia

Pizzeria il Cantuccio Civitavecchia

Civitavecchia is a really nice city with a number of good restaurants and lots of shopping. It wouldn’t be a tourist destination though if half the cruise ships in the Mediterranean weren’t coming and going from its port. That’s what probably brings most of us to this city. The waterfront is about eight or ten blocks long, stretching from the train station to the original port entrance. To its credit there are a number of inviting restaurants along this strip featuring outdoor seating. Great for a cappuccino, wine or a bite but if you want pizza we have a couple of suggestions…

To find the pizzeria walk down the water front toward the port until you get to the McDonalds. Turn right and walk up two blocks and follow the street to the left past the pedestrian mall. On the far side of the Cathedral of San Francesco d’Assisi turn right on Via Monte Grappa. Walk up the hill and take the third left on Via Monte Grappa and the Pizzeria Il Cantuccio Civitavecchia is on the left.

On a number of visits to Civitavecchia we have stayed at the Hotel Porto Roma, a really nice, small hotel in a convenient location to the port. The Pizzeria il Cantuccio is right across the street from the Porto Roma.

If you have a craving for authentic pizza this neighborhood pizzeria is the real thing with a number of great choices including a dessert pizza. They offer single serve bottles of wine and beer on tap.

A Second Choice

Pizzeria Margherita Di Gandolfi Cristian is back and only a block south from the Hotel Porto Roma and it looks very similar to what we remembered. It’s a local place offering several pies by the slice for take-away.

Please Note: A long time ago we had discovered the Pizzeria Margherita Di Gandolfi Cristian. It was a small neighborhood pizzeria with great pizza and a local vibe and recommended it to our friends. A while ago we were back in Civitavecchia and decided on pizza. When we got there the pizzeria was closed. It looked like it was being remodeled for another business. Walking just a block up hill we found the Pizzeria il Cantuccio and while a larger and more upscale it had that same neighborhood feel.

St. Croix USVI

St. Croix is the largest island in the U.S. Virgin Islands group and is significantly more rural than St. Thomas. The island features two historic towns, a rain forest in the western interior, an arid climate in the east end and spectacular coral formations that are accessible from many beaches.

The island was a possession of Denmark until the early nineteenth century and boasts a deepwater port in the west-end town of Frederiksted. The port was defended by Fort Frederik as far back as the mid eighteenth century. The island, along with St. Thomas and St. John, was bought by the United States in the early nineteenth century. That means you don’t need a passport to visit and, best of all, you can bring five liters of liquor back to the United States duty free.
