Back to the Papal Gardens

Vatican City, June 1989. The gardens feature several interesting buildings.

Exchange-Rate Reunion

Lugano, Switzerland, July 1971. We'll stop here before we shop.

Papal-Gardens Reunion

Vatican City, June 1989. It's a place to collect your thoughts.

Continental Breakfast

Hotel Flora, Venice, Italy, June 1989. The sparrows arrive before we do.

Sigh as you cross.

Venice, Italy, April 1984. Interpret the name of the bridge as you like.

Shed

Fiera di Primiero, Italy, June 1984. Look in the backyard.

Edge-of-Town Reunion

Pompeii, Italy, May 1984. Homes outside the town center feature yards.

It's grilling season.

Pompeii, Italy, May 1984. Don't worry about the fire, but beware of the ashes.

Park on this side only?

Venice, Italy, October 1983. Perhaps the parking rules apply during certain daily intervals.

Tyrolean Reunion

Fiera di Primiero, Italy, June 1984. This is the last town I visited before I moved back to the States.

Look Up

Rome, Italy, April 1984. We've climbed a lot of steps.

It's good to go shopping on a rainy day.

Venice, Italy, April 1984. I am carrying a bag containing a pocketbook Mom just bought. The leather beauty cost $45, and Mom considered the purchase a big splurge. She still carries it (she also continues to wear those black shoes).

The shops behind us are closing for lunch; one store has already put up its entry gates.

Back Street

Venice, Italy, November 1983. It's the easiest way to get to work.

The Back Alley

Venice, Italy, April 1984. Park on the correct side.

From the Other Side

Venice, Italy, April 1984. We're at the Campo dei Frari.

Flight

Venice, Italy, April 1984. If you visit Venice, then expect—and accept—tourists (and pigeons).

A View from the Hydrofoil

Naples, Italy, May 1984. We're on the way to Capri, and we leave Mount Vesuvius and the Castel dell'Ovio behind us.

Piratical Shore

Amalfi, Italy, May 1984. It's not a welcoming spot, but it makes for a nice drive.

Cracked Reunion

Pompeii, Italy, May 1984. Beware the snake lurking underground.

Castel dell'Ovo

Naples, Italy, May 1984. The hotel at which I stayed is across the street from the castle. It's the hotel where Enrico Caruso died.
