Pompeii 1960

In 1960 we moved to Paris.  That summer we made a trip to Italy.  Pompeii and Herculaneum and Paestum were sites we visited.

I think this is Via dell' Abbondanza in Pompeii.  Leslie, Rosemarie, Louis.  Mount Vesuvius is in the background.

It was a super hot day.  We look tired!

Tommy Loves the Snow

Tommy goes in and out all day - rain, snow, fair weather.

He has to be brushed off when he comes in - nothing is as nasty as a wet dog.
