Dad loved the Idea that he could pass a Porsche.

 One of the many Granite quarries we passed along our way.

 Leaving Switzerland , hello Italy.

 This part of Italy was not too pleasant -- smog and industry. We are told the north wants to become their own country because the south is pulling their economy down. I really felt like I was living the mini series North and South-- the England version during the Industrial Revolution.

 Bergamo

 Some shopping.

 A place that I thought was wonderful. You bring your own container and buy by the ounce. Soaps & cleaning supplies.

 We traveled to the top of the old town and were too late to go inside the church but the old town was every well kept.

An original fish market--- not sure how old but at least 17th century. Marble water baths for the fish.
