October Holiday

Tim and Lois, my brother and sister-in-law, have been on their travels again, visiting various places including Italy and Israel.  As usual, they took hundreds of photos, and I've posted a small selection of them below - with captions by Tim.

Click on the photos to enlarge them and bring up the slide show.
