Last weekend we met up with our friends, Liz and Malcolm in Siena. Liz and Malcolm have been traveling for about a year all around Europe and are ending their travels where they began, in Italy. We were fortunate enough to meet with them the first week we arrived in Milan. We had a great time eating delicious food, accompanied with good conversation. This time was no different.
We met in the main piazza of Siena and grabbed a slice of pizza and ate it basking in the warm sun. It was a calm evening of walking around the narrow streets and mostly just catching up with what we've all been up to. The next day we headed to Firenze (Florence) and walked around most of the center, being that it's not very big. Liz and Malcolm were able to show us around to all the nice areas, since they work only 20 minutes away from the center. The trip was a short and sweet tour of a couple Tuscan towns, with the inmost enjoyment from the time spent with good friends.
So after hearing about all the snow and winter extravaganza's taking place in the Midwest, we decided to go on our own winter adventure. We headed up to Lecco with a few friends for a one day ski and snowboard trip. Waking up bright and early to catch a train at 8 am, we arrived in Lecco 45 min later. We then took a bus, shuttle, and gondola ride up to the mountain. After messing around with everyone getting rentals, we finally got on the slopes around noon. The weather couldn't have been better and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. We were completely surrounded by vast mountains, stretching as far as the eye can see. The runs themselves were decent, nothing special, but a good place for beginners and rusty folk like myself. I'm hoping sometime in the next month we will be able to head to the big mountains North of Torino for a few days. However, with this sunny 50 degree weather we're having, the snow might not be around much longer. (oh I'm so bad)
A few weekends ago we headed to Torino for a short day trip. We started the day with a quick bit to eat and then proceeded to get lost for the rest of the day, but saw a lot.
The End.
