Aug 5 Trento

The city of Trento (Trent in English) is 14 miles from Cavedine by the valley road. The Council of Trent was held there between 1545 and 1563.  After spending the morning in Cavedine, we drove another road that goes up and over the mountains to Trento and walked in the old part of the city.

A few more views in Cavedine.

Laundry Day - Drying clothes on the 2nd floor terrace.


Monday market fruit stand in the village.


Sign on village parking lot says
"Monday for Market"
"7:30 - 1:30"
No parking with the possibility of
having your car towed.


A view of Cavedine from the south.

Is that a take-off ramp for parasailing?
