hang10tiki (Reminds me of an ACDC song) I never knew any of there songs but I can guess since you left it to our imaginations.

littlegiles OH - clever.

TikiAno ("Nessoai" emerged to say aloha to you guys..... ) Is that the weird creature in the street photo? I never spotted him. Good job.

Tiki Shark Art it is so true we are all one big Ohana. We found a treasure in Tiki Central and we aren't giving it up. I saw you passed 1,000,000 too. Congratulations. It's so fun to watch numbers and connect with everyone. I loved coming home to see what had showed up on my thread. I was blown away. Thanks for stopping by and joining the fun. I sure do enjoy your art thread and it was so much fun to meet you at Don the Beachcomber's. You generated a whole ton of excitement.

===================================================================================

We awoke to another day in Itlay.

Poor Dan I'd booked another tour. Back in the early 70's as a language student in college he had already visited the tower. Now it was my turn.

We pulled into a very industrial port.

We were soon joined by a Looney Tunes ship.

On the walk to the walled area with the tower we say tiki graffiti. This would be the only tiki we would see in Italy. We were happy to have this reminder of our passion. I wonder what it says next to the Moai.

This is the wall you walk along until you get to the entrance.

The first view.

This proved I was there.

Our next shot at a try for Tiki Magazine.

First in Spain and now in Italy I was being shown the way.

I wish they would make the sign look antique to blend in but I guess they didn't want me to miss it.

We didn't go inside, not enough time on the tour but we did get really close.

How fun to see a sign with my home state mentioned.

It was formal night and Dan became the most interesting man in the world. We dressed up and ran to read the menu. Nothing we wanted so we went back to the room and changed and went to the buffet.

Dan was thrilled that the buffet had shish kabobs. This was my plate. I'm still on my cardiac diet but tonight I cheated.

From the casual dining area there is a view. As we left the port to journey on we saw old towers.

Thank you for going on the trip with us. Polynesian Pattie and his wife Barbara did just that. We had so much fun. More to share tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy
