More pictures--June 30

Dustin getting amuch needed haircut in SanGimignano--Tuscany.

Dustin had a detour at the start of the trip--an engine went out and an emergency landing in Omaha resulted in a delay to Italy by 1 day. But he did get to see a friend in NYC. Do not be fooled by the smile. . .he was not happy about the delay but was happy to be safe!

The whole group enjoying a snack during the hike at CinqueTerre.

The newly engaged couple!

We will leave tomorrow for Zermatt, Switzerland. We are all enjoying the sun and water at CinqueTerre. Also, of course, the food and hiking.

We will be together for three more days and then Dustin, Adam and Angela go to Paris and Ron and Sharon stay in Switzerland. We will try to keep you posted. All is Well!

Family dinner in Tuscany--nice view--disappointing food. Rain came!
Our hotel in Castelrotto--Dolomites. Very nice.

Update

Hello friends and family, we will try again later to post pictures. There are technical difficulties. We are now in cinque terre--one of Ron and Sharon favorite spots. Now it will be one of Adam and Angela's favorite spots also because they got engaged here last night on the deck overlooking the Mediterranean. Quite Exciting--we were hiking today so didn,t find out the news until this evening. The young ones, Adam, Angela and Dustin spent the day exploring Vernazza and relaxing by the Sea. . . Ron and Sharon hiked 5 hours. All enjoyed their choice of activities!

Update May 27

We are now in Tuscany--the scenery is beautiful. Adam is our designated driver on the narrow winding roads. We are at San Gimignano. Our time in the dolomites was wonderful with perfect weather and a beautiful hike. All is well--we are eating pasta and pizza often. The red wine is flowing also.
Tomorrow we go to Cinque Terre. Hopefully our hiking legs will be ready for the next day because that is primo hiking area. We will try to post some pictures--but computers are often iffy.

Seattle

Hello: Ron, Sharon, Adam and Angela are now in Seattle and all connections seem to be going well. Dustin's first flight to NYC, however, had engine failure and landed in Omaha, Neb. He will be one day late in arriving--but he is safe!

Back to Italy!!

Hello:  We are almost packed and ready to go. . .  Our planes leave Friday, May 22 to Venice, Italy.  From there we will rent a car and head for the Dolomites--Castelrotto.  There are 5 of us traveling together,  Ron, Sharon, Dustin, Adam and Angela (Adam's girlfriend).  We will try to post a note from time to time.  Love, Sharon
