This post was written some time ago, when this blog was just to keep track of our journeys and see if this online writing thing turned into something we wanted to continue doing. So please forgive the homespun feel of the piece. Not my most elaborate travel article. For those of you who want to see some interesting Italy pictures however . . .
This is my friend Rachel and her husband. His name is Dave too.
