PRO'S ITALIAN OLYMPIC EXCURSION

Feb 10 - 22, 2006

Okay, I've just returned from what has to be considered as the pinnacle of all excursions - and I don't know if this one can be topped. With the exception of the absence of a certain Blonde, it was as good as it gets. I went to Italy, to see some Olympic Hockey Games. And also made it over to Florence for a soccer game as well. Joining in from Sault Ste. Marie for the hockey + Asiago portions were Frankie + Tony Porco - who were also there to see JP play for Italy in the Olympics.

There were so many photos, that the only way I could think of sorting them was to make pages for the separate events. There is very little annotation added, but to give you a photographic indication of this excursion - here's what I'm calling the preliminary stuff!

Look for updates soon, ciao Pro (24 Feb 2006)
