The southern bank of the Arno River,

Lake Como - a wonderful break from
the then-tourist-packed Florence in early July.
A good part of the class our second
weekend in Italy, at our lunch break in Assisi.
Becca, Chris, Amelia, flowers, and
a little help from photoshop. This is at Assisi, across the street from
that little cafe with the hole-in-the-floor toilet we were all dying to
use when we got there.
Lucia, Emily and Jenny demonstrate
their shyness on that giant hill overlooking Assisi.
St. Peter's Basilica.. I went back
there in July and never saw anything this dramatic. We were pretty lucky
with our timing there.
The class hanging out by the Roman
men's room in Fiesole.
The coliseum in Rome.

This was the view Jenny, Emily and I had the first night we were in Elba. Napoleon had it pretty good.
The flower market
in Florence, the first Thursday we were there.
The Cathedral in
the central piazza in Siena.
