More photos from Northern Italy trip

Post by jmq »

Inspired by the recent inquiry about Italy, I have done more editing so figured I would share more photos from our trip in May. No full write up beyond details already given here on pg 1 and pg 2**

**I have a good reason – we came back to a leaking water line in the house and water damage that required replacement of 3 floor surfaces, so we have been dealing with that whole mess. The insurance company is still in a pissing contest with charges from the restoration/water removal company THEY recommended, but we have received the claim checks needed to replace 2 of the 3 floors already and I am ¾ of the way installing the other floor. Italy inspired us to go with ceramic tile in the kitchen and foyer, and I am putting laminate down in the family room. But, talk about the ultimate vacation buzz kill…

Anyways, here are some more pix:

Very nice as always.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Thanks for sharing. Your pictures are amazing. And Italy does have some gorgeous places to visit. Still have Cinque Terre on our list.
