Field Trip

Last weekend we took a field trip to Italy. The school picked up return tickets to Milan and we visited a helicopter manufacturing plant in Varese on Friday. After the official business was complete, about half of the traveled north to Lake Como for the rest the weekend. It was of the most beautiful locations I’ve ever been too. The pictures don’t quite do it justice, as the clouds hide some of the snow covered mountains that the eye could see in the background.

The planned 4 hour hike on Saturday got extended to a little over 6।5 hours as it took us longer to find the actual trail than planned, but it was entirely worth it. Even though some snow at near the top made it impossible to make it all the way to the summit, the views along the way were spectacular.
