Jo Showing Off on the Frozen Lake
Heading out and about from Bergamo, we did a circuit that had us passing Lago di Endine. A handful of people were out skating, giving us the courage to venture out on the ice.

Back at the Balancing Rocks
We were at Lago di Iseo, and figured a detour up to the Riserva Naturale Piramidi di Zone was warranted.
Coming Around Lago di Garda
Lago di Garda, Riva del Garda
Breaking our journey from Bergamo to Verona with a lunch stop at Riva del Garda.

Milan Lunch

Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore
This church was our most unexpected find in Milan. As this was not our first time here, we wanted to locate sights that were less on the tourist trail. The vivid murals and frescoes in the church, predominantly biblical stories, were astoundingly beautiful. This should not be a less visited place.
Expressive Cherubs, One Wanting to Punch On
Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, Milan. There were many beautiful paintings to take in. I spent a lot of time looking closely, searching for little details and interesting sub stories.
Interesting Rock Carving Along the Way
Not far from Pennapiedimonte, on one of the main walking trails, this fantastically detailed rock carving pays tribute to the locals and their lifestyles.
