Sasha and I are adventurous (we are not the sit around the hotel type of dog and dog owner) and we decided to go to Varese (sits between Lake Maggiore and Lake Como) on Thursday. We hiked in the park and walked around Varese. As you can see from the pics I will have really great quads before I leave Italy......

| I think this says that the Italian Artillery Association posted this cannon here in 1978 in the province of Varese |

Here is one thing I find amazing about Italy.... they have very old religious buildings that were built into the side of a mountain several hundred years ago and they are still very well preserved. You walk along the path and each building has a scene from the bible or a religious depiction contained within. Each building must have taken months (maybe years?) to build along with the paintings, statues, and scenery inside.
