HI Joyce,When we went it was to Milan and by train to Cinque Terra - beautiful. I almost posted a photo of the train station but decided against it. I have around 400 photos so it was hard to pick just a few but didn't want to bore anyone. It's a beautiful country.I understand about finances and trips. If I did have an expiration on my butt I'd sure use that information to manage my money down to the penny and spend it all on travel! But since we don't, we don't want to be homeless and sick. Ugh. I'll put more pics up of other misadventures in my life as I know that some of the people love to look at pics and I love to take them even though I'm not that good.I am thinking of having some of my old 'film' photos digitized but wonder how much it is. $$.Peggy Ellis--- On

Shelby, my older daughter, did a summer program in Todi -- she loved it

then she did a semester in Florence -- she loved that too

when the semester was over, Jill, my younger daughter, and I went to visit

it was a wonderful trip

i flew into Milan, met shelby, took a train to Rome, met Jill

spent a few days in Rome, went to Florence, did an overnight in Todi with Shelby's host family from the summer program, then i went to Venice by myself and back to Rome for the flight home

in the meantime, i was very impressed by how Shelby learned the language and was able to communicate in Italian (spelling ?)

went to lots of museums and parks

that was before i knew about digital cameras, so all of my pics are in old fashioned photo albums

I love to travel, but have curtailed it due to finances more than health

I loved your pictures. My Dad is from Lucca and we spent a month at a villa about a 30 min bus ride to Florence. It was a wonderful trip that the whole family went on. My 3 children came with their spouses my sister 2 children came with their children and spouses . The place was huge and cheap. We rented cars and went all over.My grandparents lived in mountain towns . We went to the church they were married in it was 500 yrs old. I can remember being told the stories about her house. People vacation in this town now and her house is still their.That was in 2001 the summer before 9/11.I wasn't sick yet and we walked all over. It is a great memory.I love to travel and I know where I go now has to be flat because going uphill is a pain but I am still game.I visited the pyramids with my family last May for my daughters 40th birthday if I wasn't so inept at posting pictures I have some great ones. We might go to Alaska next year for my other

daughtersbirthday but we have to see how the money situation is as her husband just lost his job at Motorola after 15 yrs. Your pictures sure did bring back some great memories. Thanks.... IPF 2/07 Scleroderma Raynauds and Sjogrens IL
