Kaspareks & Pisariks In Italy: Part 1

The Kaspareks & Pisariks came to Italy!!!  

Tim made a surprise visit back in 2019, but this was Lori, Cole, Bailey, and Rachael's first trip to Italy.  Chris and Chris had a few wild adventures in Italy during their Camp Adventure summer of '97 in Schweinfurt.

Chris and the guys loaded up the luggage in our car and drove to Naples. Rachael, Lori, Cole, Bailey, and I took the train from Rome to Naples.
