Farewell Italia
Our 80 days in Italy have been so happy and it has been such a wrench to leave our beautiful friends. Sal and Rog have made this journey possible for us and we have loved every minute of it.

It's 11pm and the streets are packed...not just with young folk like us,but older folk,babies in prams and children on bikes.There is a distinct holiday atmosphere in the crowd( more on that in a minute) Gelatos ...
