This was an exciting trip. Ben and Bev were partway into a sixth month trip around the world, and they invited some friends to meet and travel in Europe. So Patty, Matt, and I did! We met in Rome and had a leisurely schedule, eventually visiting Florence, Pisa, Venice, Salzburg, and Munich. I had to leave early and missed out on joining the group in France.

Here I am sitting in front of the Temple of Antonius and Faustina, in the Roman Forum.

The view of Piazza San Pietro, from the top of St. Peter's cathedral.

Me, Bev, and Ben at Piazza del Duomo in Pisa. The buildings are the Baptistery, the Duomo, and the Leaning Tower.
