| Rome (In and around). | September 9 to 13, 2009. Lots of wonderful sites and things to see. Lots of walking. Great memories. Our photos of the Colosseum and Forum September 12, have been moved to the next group below for those specifically interested in that topic. |
| Rome (The Colosseum and the Forum) | September 12, 2009. Shirley, Ray and Mike tour the area in and around the Forum and the Colosseum. There is no attempt here to compete with many great photos on the web. But these are ours and views of what we wanted to remember. |
| Campo di Galluccio | September 14, 2009. The true genesis of this trip happened at Aurelio Verdone's funeral, January 2007, when Gloria and Emilio came up with the wild idea that
us cousins should go together to Italy and visit the area where our grandfather came from. After a year of haphazard planning
this plan actually became a reality for us who could make it. Here are photos of "The search for Grandfather's house".
We were also lucky and able to connect with distant relatives in the area.
After you have seen the photos, and read the story, here is a Googlemap link to Campo. The house (West, towards the top) can be seen as a dark rectangle enclosed by a white border which are the remaining walls of what must have been a bedroom or other large room Here is a pdf document of these pages. Campo Visit Book. |
| Caserta | September 15, 2009. After a 1 night stay in Caserta we took a quick visit to Casertavecchia, which is an ancient hilltop village.
Along the way to the train station we stopped for a quick, rather creepy but facinating, visit to an old Italian Cemetary.
