Meandering through Ontario...










Our time in Ontario involves a 2-week romp through the province (Peterborough, Toronto, Kincardine, Haliburton and Sudbury) before we land in Ottawa and Kingston for the month of July. It's been so nice to connect with family and friends so far.   :)

Naples, Pompeii, Capri and Ischia...

















After our wonderful time in Rome and Orvietto, we spent four fabulous days in the southern port of Naples. The city itself was gritty and urban (but oh so historic), the pizza was out-of-this-world, and the neighbouring islands of Capri and Ischia were enchanting. The ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum were unbelievable. What a wonderful holiday.

A wonderful Roman holiday! :)











In early June, we spent five glorious days in Rome. Rebecca flew out to meet us and we saw many sights, including the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Vatican and St. Peter's, Sistine Chapel and so much more. We also feasted on pizza, pasta and gelato and loved every minute of our time in this city.

Nairobi National Park with the Pulas...







Peter and Jan Pula, parents of our dear friends Pete and Sherri, have arrived for a 14-day holiday in Kenya, and we have had so much fun hosting them in Nairobi this weekend. On Sunday we went to Nairobi National Park to explore the animal orphanage and safari walk, and we had a wonderful time. Highlights included albino zebras (who knew these existed?!), a mountain bongo, a leopard and a very lazy cheetah.
