Fall 2008 - Four Weeks in Italy
Dolomites, Termites & Trogladites

 

Day Five: Dolomite Adventure:
Not as Dol as yO Mite Think

Day Five - Hiking the Dolomites:

Walked through the mountains today. Actually, we walked, rode a chairlift, hiked, drank beer, had lunch, and hiked some more. These Dolomites are quite beautiful with a few surprises. For example, who would have expected a Witches Bench? Made Pam feel right at home (she's my good weather witch and she was nearly perfect on this trip). I'll keep her.

For more about the Dolomites, go to Dolomites.
