Tuscany Italy 2011: Our Road Scholar Fellow Travellers

In September 2011, Sandi and I joined 18 other Canadians and Americans on a two week excursion through Tuscany. We had a marvelous time, and this photo post is dedicated to our new friends who helped make the trip so enjoyable. We also thank Jane Bacon and all the people from Road Scholar who organized and led the trip so well. You will see the fun and excitement on the faces in the photos below.
