GREAT image as always Leo; still trying to make it to Italy...were scheduled for Sept.'03, but had to cancel due to traveling partner's father's death (94). Trying again for May '04, have bought a Fuji Digital 3.2m & going to see her daughter who is a professional photographer & should be able to help me with it; I still feel most comfortable w/ my SLR Fuji & will take it with me also.
Glad to hear you may try for Germany/Austria & Grand Canyon/Sedona is another place that I hope to get to SOON. My family is 4th generation German & originally from Dusseldorf/Northeast, Germany.
I enjoy reading your journal & have made my niece aware of it who is in college at Seton Hall/N.J., takes Italian and will be in Milan, Pisa & Sorrento in May also. Thanks!!!
