Trento

After my 2 day jaunt in Rome, I grabbed a high-speed train for a 4-hour ride and headed off to Trento in Northern Italy where all my family is.  I was picked up by my cousins and whisked off to dinner.  It had been a while since I last saw them so we had lots of catching up to do.  Also, it was my first trip back to my parents' home town that I did not have a place to stay.  We used to have my grandparents, house but that had been sold some years ago  :(  So I was going to spend my stay at my aunt's house.  Very nice.  I had my own 2 bedroom apartment!  Mental note... must come back with Gord and the girls...  There is something about this sleepy town of 400 people.  I get sucked in everytime!  I am such a country girl at heart.  I would be able to live that lifestyle no problem!  There is nothing wrong with waking up and seeing the Alps from your bedroom window.
