After a day of not being in the car, we rested up enough to take a 4 hour trip to Italy. Northern Italy was different than the other countries however not anything like Venice or Rome.
We followed our GPS...it took us on the "shortest" trek. It was way up high in the mountains. I was pleading not to come back this way. In the picture you can see the autobahn. It is the straight line behind the houses.
The autobahn was amazing in its construction!
Here is one of a few castles we saw on our trip.
The vineyards were all on the sides of the mountains. They were a beautiful sight!
We made it to Meran. It is a place where Europeans will vacation because of its unique climate. It is a warm spot..80s. Yet the mountains are all around.
An Italian home.
This was the first time I had seen palm trees with mountains in the background. Like I said it had a very unique climate.
Evelyn explaining to me the climate.
It happened to be the weekend of a special market. Foods from all over Italy were brought to the market. We tried food from this Sicilian bread company.
There were lots and lots of cheeses too.
Yummy canoli!
I am not sure what this was called. It was ok. The texture was grainy...the inside though had some really good cheeses.
We kept seeing this yummy looking orange drink. Come to find out it is a drink known in this city. So of course we had to try one. It was a wine with spritzer in it. It was served with sugar on the rim.
Kacie is happy...more gelato!
This was a Dome in the city.
Neat city. Lots of shopping.
Kacie...strike a pose!
Thought this was a sweet picture...
Taking in the city.
Raphaela is ready to go...
