We began our month-long trip in Portugal, then onto Spain, and ended in Roma, Italy. So many cathedrals, ruins, and
history. Enjoyed huge Limoncello in Capri. Drove the Amalfi Coast and stayed in Sorrento. Took in Pompeii and of course St.
Peter's Square, the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and the Basilica. Loved Venice and Madrid and the Prada. Such an educational
trip to Europe for our first and hopefully not our last visit to Europe. ~ Joe and Dianne Martinez
