Italy...

 

 

Venice, Italy!!

 

This just happens to be one of my very favourite places to visit.  Everytime Mauro & I go to visit his family I have to beg to go see Venice!

 

I find Venice breathtaking.  It is such an old and historic place.  Canada is such a young country we don't get to see that very often.  From the hustle and bustle in the market place and the Gondola drivers trying to get you to go for a ride.  It's just wonderful.  It's usually crowded with lots and lots of tourists, but to me that's the charm of Venice.  

 

It is definitely a must see if you are in Northern Italy!

Canazei Pass

This is Mauro & I at the top of one of the many passes in the Dolomite mountains.  Oh, what a drive it is.  Lots of winding roads which I'm not used to.  

 

I was very glad to finally get to the top.  What a gorgeous view.  While we were here we went into the mountain lodge for some espressos to warm up.  It was such a beautiful place and most of all it was warm.

 

It was a chilly day with lots of wind.  To tell you the truth, it was a three layer kind of cold!

 


Another beautiful mountain shot.  This was taken in Misurina about 30 minutes from the Austrian border.

A lake surrounded by mountains, shops and chalets.  A great little tourist stop and it's a wonderful stop to stretch your legs.  It was so beautiful here, I didn't want to go!
