European Vacation - July 1997

In July 1997 the family traveled to Europe to visit France, Switzerland and Italy.   While in Switzerland, we also had the opportunity to visit our other son (our AFS student in 1990), Karsten.  Tamara had been in Europe twice, living in Paris and Florence, so she was an excellent tour guide.  Some highlights of the trip are shown below.
