Thumbnail of travels to Portugal and Italy, Summer 2017

We haven't been to Portugal since 1999 when we attended José and Ana's wedding in Pedras Salgadas in northern Portugal. So it's time to go again and enjoy seeing our friends and enjoying the delightful seafood and other new places in and around Lisbon.
After a week or so in Lisbon, we fly to Torino where we will be studying Italian at the Italiano Porticando school in central Torino. We'll be renting an apartment on the Piazza Vittoria--about a 10-15 minute walk from the Italian language school. While in Torino, we'll explore other towns in Piemonte on excursions associated with our Italian classes. And then, the pièce de resistance, a trip to the Parco Naturale Alpi Veglia with Giovanni & Giovanna & Oliviero. The last time we were there was in about 2001...as guests with Giovanni & Giovanna on their honeymoon! See you here at dcinEurope2017.blogspot.com soon! David
We depart for Lisbon on June 22...still many things to do before we board the plane.

Just added this photo of Swiss "Rainbow" chard. We'll miss the DuPont Circle market in Washington, D.C.
