I know I haven't written to you lately, but again our internet access hasn't been so great. Now we have been able to get internet through a special USB stick and so I will be able to write a bit more often. Well, we have finished our time in Rothenburg and have headed down to Italy. We got our bags together, hopped in the car, and left. We had to say goodbye to Germany, then drive through the snowy and cold Alps in Austria, and then finally we made it to Italy. We are in the province of South Tirol where everyone speaks and understands German. That makes it a lot easier for us to get used to Italy. This is the famous land of milk cows, chocolate, Heidi, beautiful alpine meadows, vineyards, and orchards. When we arrived, we drove a short way and found a great place to stay. We are in a nice wooden guesthouse on a dairy farm and the owners are very nice. The weather has been very nice too (sunny and cool), and so we have done lots of walking. This area is also famous for the "Dolomiten Berge", a breathtaking mountain climbing range. We've been up in the snowy areas where the mountains are beautiful, down in the town, or in a near city to shop and look around, and we went to see old castles and buildings. That was one of the coolest things, because we could explore and learn. In one of the castles we went on a tour and the lady showed us paintings and statues and talked about the castle.I like it here alot and I think it's one of the best places so far. Now I'm getting really excited because we are heading down to Florence where it is hopefully a lot warmer! Goodbye...in Italian, Arrivederci!
