Our Christmas presents to each other this year were snowshoes. "Racchette da neve" in Italian (translated as "rackets for snow" which I guess is a fitting name for them). Last weekend we tried them out for the first time...where else: up in the Dolomites! We had to get out of Duino to find some sun because it's been so foggy and rainy here. In fact, we saw more sun during our trip to Oregon than we've seen in Duino this year. Fortunately, like in Oregon, to find the sun you just have to drive a little bit and get over a mountain. We found a bit of sun up in the area around Cortina, and lots of snow! All that rain at the coast has apparently been falling as snow up in the Alps. So you'll be seeing more mountain pics in future blog posts because we're planning to take advantage of all this snow.
