The Great Outdoors!

Being outdoors is something we both love and I am eternally grateful for that common denominator! We've gone hiking, rock climbing (I attempted), and just general explorations of where we live around Italy.

Spotted Salamander

We spotted this guy on the road when we were heading home. This is a spotted salamander, they normally live in wooded areas and come out when it rains a lot. This was the first week I was here and it rained a lot! He was rather creepy and walked similar to an alligator.

We hiked to a climbing area in Dardago. When we got there we found this pooch patrolling the cars, we thus named him Brutus. Brutus followed us all the way up the mountain, effortless climb for him, extreme death climb for me.

Exercise

 

In my attempt to be in shape, I promised myself that I would run down the mountain every day. Well, I've been here a month and a half and I've done it... twice.

So this is what the end of the run looks like! Then I had to run/walk back up the mountain to our house, which is only about a mile and a half, but the incline is really steep.

    Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super
    long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers? I'd
    certainly appreciate it.

    I'm definitely still a newbie as well! My advice? Use tags in all your posts, be kind of broad-this will help you get a better following. Then, post often. (I'm not good at that one) :)

    What's up, its pleasant piece of writing about media print, we all understand media is a impressive source of information.

    I am using a Mac, could that be a reason? I'm not very savvy with that kind of thing! Any advice?

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in
    it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to
    drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog.
    A great read. I'll certainly be back.

    Hello! I could have sworn I've visited this site before but after going through some of the articles I realized it's new to
    me. Regardless, I'm definitely pleased I found it and I'll be book-marking it and checking
    back frequently!
