Dave and Jan Malmo, of Howard City, toured Italy, Greece and Turkey in October. They saw all the highlights of those amazing countries including the 700-year-old Leaning Tower of Pisa. “It actually is the bell tower of the nearby cathedral, Il Duomo, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site,” they said. “It leans because it was built on soft ground and the tilt is now more than 5 meters off.” They also visited Ephesus, Turkey where the book of Ephesians (from the Bible) was written; visited the “house” the Apostle John built for Mary to live out her life; and the cave where John was inspired by God to write Revelations. Those were the highlights for the Malmos as well as the Sistine Chapel. “It was amazing!” they said.

Hannah (Wright) Thomas (originally from Sand Lake) and her husband, Thomas, travelled to Rome, Italy during Christmas 2014 and took along the Cedar Springs Post. “We had a magical time visiting the Vatican, Colosseum, St. Peter’s Square, Sistine Chapel, Pantheon and many other beautiful sites that Rome had to offer,” explained Hannah. “We even had the honor and privilege of watching Pope Francis give his Christmas address at the Vatican.”
She also said they enjoyed visiting with the local Italian people, who were very friendly, and eating the local Italian cuisine, which they thought tasted delicious.
“We are happy the Cedar Springs Post was able to take this amazing trip with us,” said Hannah.
And thank you, Hannah and Thomas, for taking us with you!
