Sunday Adventure

After having lunch with Andrea, Manuela, and their family, Andrea and I decided to go for a drive. There were some places nearby that he wanted to show me so we headed out there.

First, we went up what I will call the Valdobbiadene hills. Valdobbiadene is where he works at the wine factory and it is all a major producer of all kinds of wine. The hills are where all of the vineyard for all of these wine factories are. The view looks very similar to that of Tuscany, and it is a very cool drive. We saw the Mionetto (the wine factory where he works) vineyard and many more. It is beautiful up there and only about twenty minutes from my house.

Then we went on to find a small little lake nearby. It was sunny out (even though it was supposed to rain) so we took a walk around the lake which was very nice and relaxing. There was hardly anyone else around so it was nice and quiet, actually pretty much the whole day we were almost all alone.

Next, we decided to start driving up the mountain nearby, thinking we wouldn't be able to go very far up. Well about an hour and some amazing views later, we were at the very top, which was a mile high and zero degrees celcius (32 degrees farenheit aka freezing) and covered in SNOW!!! It was awesome up there and we spent a lot of time walking and driving around.

Finally, we made it back down the mountain and found a cool restaurant for dinner. It really was a spectacular and amazing day!
