The end of a wonderful experience

All but Meg and Fred are back home again with the exception of the Italian group who are staying a bit longer. The trip home was a very long and, we say, grueling day.
It was a wonderful adventure getting to see so many beautiful villages and areas. Many we were able to paint and some only photograph for future reference. We are planning for the special show in November, sure to be beautiful.

Thank you to Neil for putting the trip together, to our spouses who managed without us, and to the artists who all got along well. Chris, Isobel, and Fabiyan were great hosts, drivers, cooks,and travel guides....thank you all as well. We have had several discussions about where to go "next time". As we are ready to pack our gear....well, maybe in a few months at least!!

Photos...Chris our host and Isobel with her son Clement who went with us when there was room and biked with Chris while we painted, often 10 miles or so.
