The attached eight photos are some of the oddities seen on a six week vacation trip to Italy in September and October, 2011.
That trip was taken by Bob and Lorraine Scholes of Dayton and Don and Elaine Quilici of Carson City.
They traveled the length and width of Italy, plus being in the Island of Sicily and into Switzerland.
