This Australian couple I've been playing cards with is now playing the piano. Today I went on a hike in Riva. It was really nice there, I boogied up this hill to some monument in just under 40 minutes. It was an incredible view there so I had to take a few pictures with the time delay of the camera. Anyway these past few days I spent mostly walking around. Yesterday I went on this massive hike outside of Verona to try to make it to some stone castle. I never made it there, but I did made it to some other cool places. When I got back to the hostel I ate dinner here and hooked up with this very nice lady from Idaho. After dinner Kathy and I went for a walk around Verona and got a little lost, it was pretty cool. We made it back to the hostel in time to play a game of chess and share a bottle of wine. I am really beat today, probably from all the walking and riding on the bus today. I need to head to the Internet cafe sometime tomorrow and also figure out where I'm heading to next. I was thinking Bologna, where I hope to eventually end up in the training class later this month.
