A square in Lucca, Italy. Something about these wide open spaces really gets you. I find this a a common feature of many European cities but not the UK.
The statue is of the famous guy who got Italy united. June 2001 |

I was truly struck by this - a church in the middle of downtown Montreal (Canada). Right in the middle of the shopping district of St. Catherine lies this wonderful church. May 2001 |

They are transforming the docks in Montreal. This little marina was built recently, and one can take boat rides from here - which I did! May 2001 |

Pisa is a small city, with lots of character. I was however, rather disappointed with the leaning tower, although the surrounding cathedral is quite impressive. The Piazza del Duomo is just a splendid piece of architecture, the beautiful white marble buildings, framed by the remains of the wall surrounding the city, suggest an almost surreal existence in the centre of Pisa.
These are two views of Pisa from the Royal Victoria Hotel June 2001 |

Castelvecchio Pascoli, Italy, where the PSE conference was held. This is a wonderful resort about 2 hours away from Pisa. It is very hard to get to, and once you are here, only Olympic athlete can climb down the mountain to visit the local town.
A beautiful setting though -- and has almost the same June 2001 |
