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.
