More stories and pix from Italy trip!

It seems unbelieveable that less than two weeks ago I was back in gorgeous Sorrento, Italy. My husband and I were there 35 years ago and stayed at the Hotel Parco dei Principe. I was very eager to get back there to see if it had changed much. To my delight it was quite recognizable and was only better, if anything. This time aound I didn't stay there but just dropped by one afternoon for tea and sandwiches. We were served on a beautiful terrace over-looking the Bay of Naples. Enjoy these pictures and let me know if YOU would like to book a trip there! Yes, this is a five-star hotel!

Back to Louisville from trip to Italy!!

These pix were taken in our first four days in Rome. The picture on the left is the ancient Colisseum were gladiators used to have their contests. There were actually a few gladiators standing outside but they wanted money to have their pictures taken so I declined. On the right is the Pantheon which is also over 2000 years old. There was a McDonalds right across the square from the Pantheon and I felt sad about that. As a matter of fact, Rome of was full of McDonalds' restaurants! We declined to go there and instead opted for pasta, pizza, and gelato! Stay tuned for daily notes from my Italian holiday!
