We can’t thank our longtime friends and fans of the Old Town Crier, Colorado residents Dave and Linda Allin, enough for always taking the issue with them on their travels. Their last big adventure took them to Croatia and Italy. They joined 27 other tourists from Barcelona, France, South Africa and the Basque region Spain on the 20-cabin Croatian coastal cruising vessel Dream. This shot was snapped of them with their longtime friend Wendy Clement on the swim platform while it was sitting in the port of Vis on the island of Vis, Croatia.

The next two photos are from two of the five Cinque Terra villages in the national park of the same name on the west coast of Italy on the Ligurian Sea portion of the Mediterranean. The first is Linda in Manarola where we sat at a couple of stools under an umbrella provided by an interesting hole in the wall establishment that sold gelato and cold beer. The second photo is Linda sitting on the sea wall above one of the beach clubs in the northernmost of the Cinque Terra towns called Monterosso.

If you would like to see your photo in this space, just take a copy of the OTC with you on your next trip and snap a few shots with you reading it and send them to office@oldtowncrier.com. Be sure to include information for the caption and your mailing address so we can send you a hard copy!
