Aosta! Me Amicos!

No, Aosta is not a crazy Italian way of saying hello. it is a mountain valley on the Italy France boarder, and we are smack in the middle of it. there are mountains so close on ALL sides i swear i could touch both sides at once. it is incredible the picture i have here dosen't do it justice, i had to use a fish eye lens and you still cant see more than an 8th of the mountains to understand how much you see here, the line on the bottom of the picture is a strait railway out side our hostel window.


there is factory or something on the other side of the rail and then mountains, and they are on all sides. i might try and make another panorama picture today.

we stopped in a little town called la spetsia it was allot like Provincetown except with palm trees and orange trees lining the road. but don't let that fool you. it was mad cold.




we also stopped in a city called Torino just for a quick bite and to stretch our legs. we saw this bar and knew we needed to post a picture. thats me below the sign it is dark but we wanted you to read it.





any way we are going to go enjoy the day.... oh a small bird just flew in the window.... it is speaking to me... slow down little bird your talking to fast, and in Italian what's that you say? Dev and Andre, engaged? really? well if what this small Italian bird is say is true then CONGRATULATIONS. if not then i will be eating small Italian bird for lunch, because i eat those who lie to me. I eat them!

love you all
