Oh well, we would have to save that for our next visit to Forni. Around three or four in the afternoon, ...
Forni di Sopra, a quick visit
... pond to show Dad & Tan around while Sue taught piano. We arrived back at the house and had a good chance to catch up on news before dinner. Afterwards we looked at Sue’s old slides that she had transferred on to the computer from the time she, Dad, Mom and a group of their friends went to Hawaii when they were in their late teens/early twenties.
