Museums aren't the only place where you can check out the masterpieces. Here's our series guide to seeing the arts....for free.

SoHo may have once a been haven for artists in the 1960s and 70s, but today you're more likely to see Calvin Klein and Chanel, rather than Chuck Close. The next time you're wandering the streets of SoHo, past the big box stores and galleries, be sure to pause for a moment at 141 Wooster Street. It's not a gallery or a collection of works, but a single art installation that has been in this exact location since 1977. Even if you're not a fan of modern or contemporary art, this is definitely a memory you'll take home with you.

I'm a fan of snow, at a distance. I love seeing it on mountaintops or from behind a window with a warm cup of coffee. Rachel, however, conquered her fears and got right in the middle of it from the tops of the Faroe Islands. Her story and the photos that accompany it, are absolutely breathtaking.

Our friends, Francesco and Fabiola, took a Valentines Day trip to Verona, a city known for love and the backdrop for the famous love story Romeo and Juliet. We fell in love with these shots of the city decorated in hearts.

Big cities can be expensive and Chicago is no exception. But what I love about big cities is that they're vibrant, alive and there's always something going on. I can get lost in wandering around, exploring, and just window shopping my way through the day. But when inspiration is lacking, here are a few great ideas for seeing Chicago without spending a fortune (or jumping in a fountain.)

The next time you head to Padova, someone might suggest for you to see the Scrovegni Chapel to see the frescos of the 14th century master, Giotto. But don't overlook the works of a modern day master, Kenny Random, whose art can be found throughout the streets of Padova. Here's one we spotted while wandering through town one day.

One of the joys of staying just outside of the city of Padova is while it was just a short walk down the street to town and a bus station to takes us into town, it was an even shorter walk to the countryside via a path that ran alongside the Brenta river.
One day, instead of venturing into town in the heat, we decided instead to wander along this path. Busy with bicyclists and fitness buffs on the weekend, we had the entire place to ourselves. Our little Italian countryside, complete with an abandoned Villa (La Certosa di Vigodarzere) to explore. Check out our walking tour below.

The brightly colored sails of boats floating along the Ayeyarwady River gives us a peak into Burmese life.

A mobile market in Cuba allows you to pick up your produce from the convenience of a bike. While I'm excited about the possibility of Cuba being open to American tourists, I fear, like Rachel does, that scenes like this one may become a distant memory.
Today's guest post gives us a peek into the Rome of the photographer behind RomePhotoBlog, Jessica Stewart.
