The last I wrote I was headed for the opera. The Opera was fun. We did not stay for the entire thing, in fact, we left as soon as possible. lol. It was great to see an Italian opera in a real live Arena but our buts were numb and I believe opera is better enjoyed by just listening. Verona was great but we decided to move along in our journeys. Monday morning we woke up early and headed for the train station. From Verona we trained it to Bolzano which is a small town at the foot of the Alps in norther Italy. We stopped only long enough to grab some lunch and enjoy in incredible view. I forgot to mention that the train ride presented us with amazing views as we zipped through and in between the Dolomites. From Bolzano we hopped on a Bus to experience some real mountain towns. Some how...I am still not sure how...we ended up in a town called Sousa standing on a balcony overlooking breathtaking mountains and the valley below covered with mountain flowers and small Germanic huts. Did I mention that this balcony was outside the door of our room. We walked 30 mins. to find the friendliest woman in the world waiting for us at her front door. We walked back to town and took the funicular (we found out this is a ski lift sort of thing) to the top of the mountain that lie outside our window for an even more spectacular view. From there we stopped and had dinner in the charming town of Siusi. While this town in technically in Italy, if you didn't know any better you would think you were in Germany. German was the Prime language and Italian the second. Since neither of us speak German and little Italian, this was quite an experience. I will attest, though, that German speaking people may be the worlds friendliest people. What an amazing time!
