Southern Tyrol




We spent the morning after our overnight in the pensione exploring the area and letting the children run a bit. We parked near a pear orchard and watched men harvest Bosc pears from really interesting single-pole ladders. Across the street from our parking place was a very large brewery. We hiked over a covered footbridge and explored along the east side of the river. We actually found an RV Park! Apparently, camping with trailers or small RVs is quite common in this area. 

Adam and Isaac really enjoy spending time with their daddy! They also had a great time playing on the edge of the river that the footbridge spanned. 

Sean and Tom are pictured with the river and mountains west of the river in the background. 

We walked around the brewery and had lunch in their biergarten. The picture shows an overhead walkway which connects the brewery and the biergarten. The street beneath was very busy. 

As we were crossing the bridge, four Ferraris stopped beneath the bridge for a brief break before roaring off up the road. The Ferraris were SO colorful--one was black, one red, one yellow, and 
one orange. Not a muted shade among them!
