Vacation Week

I just got back from a wonderful week away in Milan & Bergamo, Italy and Munster, Germany. Italy was beautiful and scenic, as you can see:

This is the view from the hotel window, down a beautiful little Italian side street. The hotel was just a block from the street car stop, which was perfect.

This is my friend Tony, looking cool in another random little street of Milan. We did a lot of wandering around. Also, lots of eating. Because, really, you must eat when you're in Italy.

This is the view from the very top of Bergamo, a little city by an airport of the same name in the foothills of the Alps. It was even more gorgeous than Milan, with amazing views of other little towns and, of course, the mountains.

After Italy I snagged a few hours of sleep and then was off to the European Unitarian Universalist Fall Retreat, where Rev. Dr. Bill Schulz was speaking. Needless to say, I had a fantastic time and it was great to connect with new people. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that fine event, but perhaps some will come soon.

Until next time...
