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. I really liked the city, because it is even smaller than padova and very cute. I like that the italians ...

However, we are now experts at using the Italian rail system, mostly thanks to the DIY electronic ticket booths. They have an English option, our saviour.
