Alpine Adventure

So I have been up in the Alps for 10 days and am starting my week off, which is 10 days long..... :)

This computer doesn't work well, so pictures will have to make up for a lack of my normal ravings.

We were in a town called Pragelato where I expected to see a singing nun come running around every mountain followed by 7 children.

We did a lot of hiking and were accompanied by a Canadian flight attendent and her Italian boyfriend. I have to say, my stay would have been very boring if it hadn't been for them.

I spend the entire day (every day) with the family, so my nerves were a little edgy from lack of freedom and constant supervision (of me not Camilla).
it was good, the weather changing from hot to freezing, the distant sound of cow bells in the trees, wild flowers everywhere. I wish I could have done some exploring on my own, but maybe next time.


Their 'cabin' was a 18th century stone house made into four apartments. It still isnt finished being remodeled but they are keeping with the old school theme with antiques and old wood doors... (Dad- you would really like how rustic it is). The 'city' part consisted of a cafe/pizzeria, so there wasn't much to do.



We visited a beautiful little French town with delicious...and as you can see, children who don't behave here turn to stone.

Well, so much for it being short. I probably w on't be writing til after my 10 day break is over. I will be going down to Lucca, Napoli, exploring Sicily for 4 days then going back up too Napoli again, Assisi, Siena, and back to Alassio for three days before returning to California.

Wow! the summer is going by fast.
