Sacra di San Michele




Hello anyone who's reading!  Yesterday we had a break from the workshops and different groups took off throughout the region of Piemonte.  I traveled with a student from Sonomo State, Jewel, to the Sacra di San Michele, pictured above.  This monastery was built in 966 (but nobody knows for sure).  When we got off the train and looked up, our hearts stopped.  The top picture is the view from the train.  The guidebook said it was an hour and a half walk!  Yeah right.  It's a 2 hour walk from the train to the other side of that mountain before you even start the straight up the hill you've got to be kidding hike.  'Cause I'm in that great of shape.

But I huffed and I puffed.  And I hiked up to that monastery.

In the Italian alps thank you very much.

I have many more things to say, but I am being kicked off the computer.  So, for now, ciao.

Lots of love.

Teresa

Hey You Two's: Richelle here. Finally figured out how to get to you. It's Teresaandaviathar.blogspot.com
NOT teresaandaviathar@blogspot.com.
I wonder if anyone else has figured this out??

Well, we're still jealous as can be!
Can't wait to hear/see more.

PS Halloween with 20+ pre-schools and Bamboo and friend happened. I hear we did good! I think I might have scared 'em for a second!

Tee and Vee: Got to read your blogs today for first time! Love the pics. We're home - had a great time - but OOHHH - so expensive! The tickets were the cheapest part of the journey! Danny's family is great to travel with - so much fun! Lots of singing and dancing. Danny was delighted!
Luvya so much! See you during the holidays!

I just noticed that I'm "Anonymous". Don't know how to change that, but now I've clicked on a different option. Maybe it will identify me!
Anyway, please keep posting! I love armchair touring! Much more practical and in my price range!
