[Leica] IMG - More from Italy in 2003

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Doug,


Very nice photos from Milan. ?I also liked the back of the cathedral 
actually better than the front. ?In late August the scaffolding was gone. 
?We really liked Milan, and the food at the back street restaurants was 
really great.


Cheers,
Gene
