After spending the night in Austria, we drove over to Italy. The above picture is the valley that leads off to Cortina, Italy, where they held the 1956 Olympic Games.
We went to the Brenner Pass, as my Dad had always wanted to see the mountain pass that figured so significantly in World War II. All along the pass, there are small towns and villages and the one we had a picnic lunch in was Chiusa. Note the convent located high above us, clinging to the hillside.
We drove by Lake Garda, one of the mountain lakes that Italians like to vacation at in the Dolomites.
We stayed around Verona for our last night and here Pat, Alana, Helen and Donna are shown in front of Juliet's balcony. . .Verona was very crowded.
Finally, here we are shown in front of the arena in Verona where they have marvelous operas every summer.
