Italia

We went on a family trip last week, in search of the sun in Italy.  Driving though Switzerland in the rain and grey was interesting, even if we couldn't see the tops of the Alps.  Because we took the snow tires off the van before the trip we started to worry when the snow started and we saw plows in the road.

Just before the longest tunnel (16.9 K) this was how the weather looked.

  Luckily, by the time we came out the other side it had completely cleared up and the sun was shining.   Must have been a magic tunnel.

Also possibly magic was the boy single handedly holding up the tower of Pisa.  The fact that he was smiling is simply a miracle.
