Siena/Venice/L'abri

Flaws are one thing.  I can deal with flaws.  If you figure out the flaws, you can work around them.  But when the flaws change, then what does one do?  Well, these pictures are out of order, but I'll explain them anyway.

This was the bridge in Venice outside of our hostel.  I loved having a private bridge.

This was a very cool vineyard in Siena.  They play constant Mozart music for the vines.  They've done studies with one batch with music and one batch without.  The vines with music were apparently much healthier.

Don't freak out too much.  This was my favourite perch in our hostel in San Rocco, just outside of Siena.  We loved our room.
This was one of the lovely views on the walk around the grounds we stayed on in San Rocco.  Elizabeth was kind enough to pose.
Here we are in the Swiss Alps.  Saying it was beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it.
Here's the little group that went on the hike on our first full day.
This was the stunning view from our room at L'abri in the alps.
Here I am on a bridge in Venice.  I am pouting because Venice has no trees.  No trees means no sticks.  No sticks means I don't get to play Pooh Sticks.
And of course, what would Italy be without sampling some Tiramisu.  So we did.  And it was lovely.  Naturally.

So, the Siena/San Rocco pictures come first, then the Vienna pictures, then the L'abri.  There ya go.
