Monday, July 25, we join Ann & Skip Harsy at O’Hare airport to board our flight to Rome. What began as a celebration of Ann’s retirement from teaching by vacationing in Cinque Terra, Italy, has been expanded to include a few days with them in Rome and Florence. Their married daughter, Kathleen, and her husband will follow us to Rome three days later. Their son, Peter, will meet up with the six of us in Pisa on Saturday, July 30, and we will all take the local train into the Cinque Terra. We have reserved a villa for the week in the town of Manarola. This is a picture of the town where we will be staying in the Cinque Terra.
