Tour Group at Canova Restaurant, Rome-1

That’s Patty in the beginning of the movie clip. She is hamming it up––she knew that I was taking a movie of her. The tour group was very well behaved in this clip.

Tour Group at Canova Restaurant, Rome-2

This movie clip starts out with Patty (a retired first–grade teacher from Maine) dancing with someone from the restaurant. Then, Patty dancing with Reggie (an attorney from Australia). They both loved to dance.

Tour Group at Canova Restaurant, Rome-3

All is well again. I think Patty took off for the WC. Patty was a great person and definitely livened up our tour.

Blue Grotto, Isle of Capri

Two rowboats going into the Blue Grotto. Four of our tour members are on the second boat: Frank and Anna and Art and Carol. The boatman grabs onto a rope and pulls the boat into Grotto. When he starts to pull, he tells all his passengers to duck.

Gondola Serenade-2, Venice

Our gondola singer is singing Santa Lucia. Listen at the end when he ends with the words “Santa Maria.” He read the name tag of Clara Marie, in the blue shirt, and changed the words just for her.

St. Mark’s Square Orchestra

An orchestra at night at St. Mark’s Square. Music from The Sound of Music was being played by more than one orchestra. It must be very popular with the tourists.

Milan Orientation by Paolo

Paolo is giving us an orientation to Milan before we are let loose by ourselves in the city. He always went over several times the time and place that we were to later meet up.

Off and On the Boat at Vernazza

The gangplank was not only moving up and down but also sideways as it was on wheels. Who needs Disneyland when you can go on a ride like this?

Street Performer at the Uffizi, Florence

This street performer in front of the Uffizi museum was making everyone laugh. My attempt at taking a movie clip of his performance.
