Travelogue
Frankfurt • Rome • Firenza • Pistoia • Pisa • Genoa
As we have in previous years, Paul and I decided to extend our business trip and venture to some cities
and visit drum shops along the way to sell and promote our products. I hope you'll take the time to come along via
the pictorial. It's not all tourist photos - included are visits to the UFIP cymbal factory and to
the shop of the Master - Roberto Spizzichino. Worth the time spent...Enjoy!
Frankfurt
This is where we begin...just a few random street shots...
Hauptwache - a favourite watering hole in central downtown Frankfurt.
$36.50 for a room with a view
Of the interstate and the pizza place too.

The view from our room.
The Frankfurt train station ius a busy place - a favourite hang for us while we get accustomed to the time change.
A local deli
Dear Mr. Manson...
Please, roll over and stop snoring - the guests on the 3rd floor are complaining.
And with that we begin the drive to Roma!
You Jack Dunnett insisted we bring Pup along for the drive.
Milan Dahling!
Ironically, my wife was only an hour away at the World Cup Snowboard finals event with Team Canada
Pup and GPS guide us..most of the time.
About this time Paul and I made the decision to make the drive to Roma all in one run. A late night...
Welcome to Roma!
After a good noght's sleep we wake up refreshed to the warmth and sunshine of Rome
I thought the picture was appropriate as Paul and I began drinking in the sights and flavours of the ancient city.
Our friend and local tour guide Andrea picked us up at the hotel.
It was great having someone along who knew where we need to go and what we needed to see inthe short time we had.
The train terminal
Andrea gives us the 411 on our first stop - The Monument to the Lost Soldier
