So I promised not to bore you with travel photos. However, Italy is one great photo opportunity. My wife and I spent time in Venice, Burano, Lucca, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano, Volterra and ending up in Milan. Here's a sampling of the photos of a beautiful country. I will let the photos speak for themselves...for the most part.

| This wall which surrounds the city of Lucca is 40 feet tall and was constructed in the 1400's. It now serves as a walking and riding path for the city. |
