Ogni Santi
Since in Italy we had off on all saints day, it was a 4 day weekend for us. A girl, denise from our residence here invited us to come visit her in her hometown. After celebrating halloween a bit we went to Trento on thursday. Trento is a little town in nothern italy in the dolomites actually. They have a university also.

There seems to be plenty to do here - the Messner Mountain Museum about alpine climbing through the ages, several castles, 3 cable cars up the surrounding mountain and of course the Iceman Otzi.
