Marmore Waterfall

Turns out the biggest waterfall in Europe is only an hour and a half drive from us.  It is enormous with three different trails and tons of falls.  By the end, we were soaked and Pix was spent after all the screaming, shrieking and pointing.

Roma

With the tears of nostalgia still stinging my eyes, we are back in Rome.  I insisted that we play somewhere that will remind us why we love this city.  I mean, sure - her moos and rooster crows have no context here, but - in the end - we still love it.

So Long Alpies

Last day in the Alps, we return to Rome tomorrow morning.  Pixie has learned lots of new words from her brothers.  A few choice ones are:  Julia, (well....dulia to be precise) ciao and andiamo.  And believe me, talk about cows in any language and you will be treated to a throaty moooooo. 






Our Pretty Alpine Home

AND and and....they leave us freshly squeezed milk and freshly baked bread on our doorstep in the morning.

More Fun

Much to my dismay, we left our little piece of paradise to move to a new village which, much to my pleasure, has proven to be yet a yummier slice of heaven.  I have effectively warned everyone that they will have to drag me back to Rome clawing and screaming.  Julia is having the time of her tiny little life. 

Hiking on the Trail of Elves that leads to a waterfall
She woke up for the waterfall though.  Freaked her out.

Sound of Music

We took a hike and followed it up with a terrifying chairlift ride to the top of the peak.  We found a bunny park and Julia’s dream of pat-pat-patting a rabbit was finally realized when she was able to feed one grass through the fence.  Lots of giggles there, for sure.
