I’ve been traveling in Italy with my partner Mick and friends Mary and Mark since April 3. We started in Milan, then went on to Monterosso, Florence, Rome. We hiked, did walking tours, tried new foods and wines, took a cooking class, went to an artichoke festival, rode trains, took a ferry. It’s been a whirlwind.
I’ll write more later, but here’s a taste.

I have many many photos on my Nikon to upload, so stay tuned.

Kathleen, thanks for sharing a bit of your travels with us. You are definitely enjoying yourself. I see that in your photos, read it in your words.
Audrey, we had the best time! We finally returned home at about 2AM this morning after nearly 24 hours of travel and hanging around airport terminals, still amazed that we got to visit a bit of Italy. My next project is to go through hundreds of photos I shot over the past two weeks.
