OUR BACKGROUNDS: Walt has been a photojournalist for many years and worked for the Southern California News Group using the name Walt Mancini. Gloria started taking pictures before she met Walt. Since retiring from teaching, she has had time to work on photos, doing webpages, slide shows and personal exhibits. Most of these pictures were taken with Leica cameras We can be contacted at fogler.mancini@sbcglobal.net
Our first web pages were from our trip to China in 2006. We took a group tour and saw many important sights and covered lots of miles.
The next set of pages showed the different aspects of Southwest France in the spring of 2007: the cities, countryside, its villages and churches.
Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Toronto can be seen in the pictures from our trip to Canada in the fall of 2007.
We went to Turkey to learn more about the Greek, Roman and Byzantine cultures. We also learned a little about how the people there are now.
Naples & Southern Italy - 2010
In the fall of 2010, we traveled to Naples and around the boot, the southern part of Italy. It’s an area that few people know much about, even though they may wish to learn.
Northern Italy & Burgundy, France - 2011
We went to places that were new to us and places that we had seen before in 2011. We saw incredible mountains and spectacular architecture in northern Italy and the Burgundy region of France.
Sunny Portugal was our destination in the fall of 2012. Knowing it is a small country whose power and glory are gone, now we enjoy it as a very friendly and relaxed place.
Our winter travel took us to Guatemala in 2013. Both the ancient Mayan monuments and current Maya culture were amazing. Traveling there was made easy by having professional help.
We found a great number of places of interest in Northeast Italy. Going to see the Dolomites was one of our primary goals. We enjoyed revisiting Venice and learning about the whole area and its mixed history.
This trip was like three small vacations. We first went to Marseille, then flew to Corsica and ended up in the Loire Valley for rest and relaxation. All are beautiful, but different.
Italy has an eternal fascination for us. We revisited Naples and Rome and explored an area where few travel, the Abruzzo.
The first time we went to Québec, a snowstorm kept us from visiting the Gaspé Peninsula. This time we went in the spring and enjoyed Québec City, the Charlevoix coast and Saguenay Fjord before visiting the Gaspésie.
These pages combine photos and information from our four last
trips to Mexico. Now, most of the information for any subject
will be found on the same page . Hopefully, the country will
be more understandable for everybody.
We went to some different places in France - this time to the east of Paris. Seeing art like Chagall’s stained glass windows was part of our motivation. We also found we enjoyed exploring smaller, out-of-the-way places.
This vacation was different because we stayed in the USA. In our Mini, we drove across country from LA to New Orleans, north along the Mississippi, and west on Route 66. We saw many new and interesting places.
We were looking for another place to go in Italy and remembered seeing Sardinia from Corsica in 2014. We found out about its different towns with murals. Its ancient history and limited population made it attractive, like its beaches.
