We woke up this morning and it was a LOVELY morning! The sun was
shining, and it was really warm! Hot actually! It has been kind of
crazy- the weather that we have been experiencing here on this trip!
The hotel that we stayed in here in Cortina is the CUTEST ever!
Seriously. It is so cute! The breakfast was so fun, but the lady
that served us and is working at the hotel is so cute. Little Italian
lady that speaks German with an Italian accent, so I can't understand
her even MORE! Yikes. Anyways...we decided to shop around a little
bit for the kids while we were here, and the streets were so cool,
that we all kind of split up a bit and did our thing for a couple of
hours. My Mom and my hayfever has been SOOOO bad up here! and we
have been out of medicine, so we found a little Apoteke (sp?) and
found some medicine. Saved our lives I tell ya! Anyways...after we
shopped for a bit on the cool streets of Cortina, we hopped into the
Bread Loaf and headed into the Dolomite Mountains. WOAH! They are
just so incredible! The views here are amazing. It was a REALLY long
ride, and we were all incredibly tired- at least Cole and I were- so
we snoozed a bit- that's for sure! We did stop at the top of the
Dolomites and took a little ride up a ski lift to the top of the
mountain where there are some old ruins of some bunkers and things
that were around and built during the Civil War here in Europe. So
cool! Just on the top of the Dolomite Mountains- NBD. We hiked
around up there for a bit and saw the COOLEST little place that my
parents had found before! It was so neat. It was just a short hike,
so then we headed down and hopped into the car for the rest of the
long drive.
We finally made it to another cool city in Italy where we had the
MOST amazing dinner ever! Well, what was really cool was the place
where it was! This restaurant was so cool! There were so many
different wings to this place, and it was right below a cool castle!
There were some tables that were in these GIGANTIC barrels that were
way cool, and we were able to eat outside in this little courtyard.
We had some VERY delicious pizza! Woah! Everyone said that it was
the best that they had ever had! I can believe it! I wasn't able to
eat too much, but I had a REALLY yummy soup! So that was very fun.
We really took our time at all of these stops, so when we finally got
back into the car, the drive back to the mission home in Munich was a
long one. Thank heavens for my awesome Dad that drives EVERYWHERE and
stays awake! Because we all certainly don't! We finally made it back
around 11 or so, and were all so tired- and went straight to bed!
