Italy Trip October 2009

From 18th-24th October a group of parishioners travelled to Italy to the beautiful Veneto region. They visited Padua, Venice and Vicenza as well as Parma where they tasted parma ham and parmesan cheese. Many thanks to Stefano Gambro and to the local guide Lucia for putting together such a wonderful. These are a few impressions of some of the places visited. Thanks to Derick Allaway for the photos (and my apologies to him that it's taken so long to post them on the site!!)
