The Plan
We are still planning. As of July 2024, we have airplane tickets and a week in Foligno with Luciana and David and we are going to spend the next weekend with Elena in Padua. We now have lodging in Venice, Varenna on Lake Como, Chur (pronounced core) in Switzerland and near the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.
Foligno, Sat. Sept 28 - Oct 4

We are near Assisi here and will definitely visit. We have contacted Joanna in Le Marche and are trying to arrange a meeting (maybe in Assisi).

Venice Oct 7 - 10
We spent a week in Venice some decades ago, but this trip will concentrate on the Biennale. But since we will arrive on a Monday when it is closed so we are thinking about getting 24 hour tickets for the vaporretto and spending the day visiting some of the small islands of Venice.

We will take the train from Venice to Varenna and stay on Lake Como for a few days. We will take the midlake Ferry to visit Bellagio and Menaggio. Another day might take another sailing trip. We don't have much planned,
