Sondrio is a beautiful city - especially the people. Smaller towns are so friendly and charming. We traveled Thursday through Bormeo to Livigno where we spent the night at Hotel Lac Salin. It was a very nice hotel in the heart of skiing and mountain biking mountains. Fabio, the owner, is a Rotarian and hosted us. He also took us out on a paved bike trail to see the valley and then we rode back through town. It reminds me of Lake Placid or Park City with higher mountains. I had a very relaxing evening.
Friday we returned to Sondrio via the Swiss alps and Tirano. We have pictures of us playing in very icy snow (as it fell many months ago.) Tirano is famous for its church where the Virgin Mary healed a young lady in 1504. Pilgrims flocked to the church for centuries. We toured a winery and then had dinner in a small restaurant in the vineyard with the director of the winery. He makes delicious wine.
We had breakfast with the family this morning and now we head to Bergamo for more adventures.
