Happenings
 Fortezza Priamar at Savona
 Something to read
 Karen at the gate
 Driving past Albenga to San Remo
 At Monesiglio with Bruna and Stanley
 Chatting (schwaetzen or chiachiare)
 Looking up toward homes at Monesiglio
 Giorgio at Martinio. He asked for a blessing.
 Baptism candidate, Yusnelis Gonzalez, at Genova. I had the honor of interviewing. Doesn't she look like Tomoko?
 Sorella Durfee (right) upon transfer to Milano.
 Anziani at Cuneo. The apartment was clean!
 Mountains outside Cuneo
 Corso Re Umberto, Torino, where I lived 47 yrs ago.
 Sorelle at Torino
 Sorelle at Collegno
 Little street in Torre Pellice, where Lorenzo Snow had so much success and dedicated Italy for the first time in 1850 (sorry, I can't turn it right-side-up, but it's worth standing on your head to see!).
 Torre Pellice cafe where we had lunch.
 Jawohl, das bin ich!
 Easter egg, Italian style
 Can I eat the whole thing?
 I'll give it the college try. 
 Conference at Alessandria, Torino Zone
 Conference at Alessandria, Genova Zone
 Town of Albisole
 Train station at Genova; where are we going?
 To the Swiss Temple. The kids did 480 baptisms; the adults did much family work. A wonderful time.
 Pretty Swiss sights on the way home.

 Berge ueberall (mountains all around)
 Bauernhaeuser (farm homes)

 Interlaken

 Kleines Doerfchen (little village)
 Break in the action
 Or is it a Sicilian?
Final thought. What a beautiful sight!

Savona

                                                   Looking out our balcony toward the sea
                                                              Our dining & living rooms
                               Looking out the back window. Note Karen's clothes dryer (the lines)
                                  Cleaning the baptismal font with the Sorelle (sister missionaries)
                                                     A sunny view outside the back window
      Il bagno (bathroom). The shower actually works. No such thing when I was here 47 yrs ago!
                                           Il letto (bed). A welcome sight at the end of the day.
                                                Out in the country with the sorelle. Our car.
                       La cucina (the kitchen). Note the washing machine at the right. It works manually.
           Il battesimo (the baptism). Fratello Montalto (left), Sister Berta (candidate) and sorelle. All happy.
                             Cleaning the font (2). Sorry--I'm not adept at ordering these photos yet.
                                               Yes, we offer cleaning services too and cheap!
                                                                       Il mopper supremo.
                                  In the country for a nice Italian dinner at the Montalto family home
   My spurs are sharper than yours! I can find a pot your size, buddy!
                              Along the country path to dinner time. The rooster survived this time.
