Italy, San Marino, Switzerland 2013
Link to Main Trip Report for Italy Wildlife Expedition 2013
This was part of a two month expedition that centered on the wildlife of the Mediterranean nations of Greece, Italy, France, Spain and Tunisia. It was a phenomenal trip that incorporated many classic European cities and landscapes as well as an excellent sample of the megafauna of the bio-region. The gallery below has images mainly centering around the culture, people, landscapes and family-oriented experiences of the trip. This gallery is about Italy, Switzerland and San Marino. Other nations from this trip will have their own galleries. For the details of the flora and fauna of the trip, use the above link to my old, but still very informative, website.
