Elizabeth and I have been traveling to exciting foreign places and sharing them with others since 1967. We have conducted tours to all parts of Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Scandinavia, Iberia, Morocco, South Africa and Zimbabwe, the Orient and the South Pacific. In 1996 we conducted a tour around the world.
This tour of Italy, Switzerland, and Austria takes us to some of the favorite places we have enjoyed -- places known for the history associated with them or for their beauty.
