Hello to my dear readers! I have returned from my latest adventure. This time I took a tour of Italy. My buddy Kim and I joined up with our friend Debbie and we spent 21 days exploring this wonderful country. As you can imagine, I've got thousands of photos to sort through and recapping this trip will take a bit of time. But for now, here are a few phone photos to whet your appetite.
