Tired monsters

Red and green monster are exhausted after a long car ride and almost 2 weeks in
Italy. They liked the castle a lot.

Circle elevators

When I went to the fortress in Bard I had to take one of these circle shaped things up to the fortress and back down to the car. I had to take three of them. It had a really good view. You could see houses, restaurants, hotels, anything you can think of really.

Fenis Castle

At Fenis Castle we got a tour of the castle rooms. It was from the 13th century. I saw wooden furniture, huge fireplaces, and paintings on the wall called frescoes. I went in a fireplace and looked up where the smoke went out in a hole in the roof. The tour guide did the tour in Italian and the only word I understood was drago (dragon).

Finding frog tiles

In Vercelli, me and my dad went looking for frogs. The frog tiles mark special places. There are 20 special places where frogs are supposed to be. When we got to the first place we looked on the side walk and found the frog. The second place we looked on the sidewalk a while and then we went to the other side of the road and found the frog. The third frog was right in front of the museum that it was marking. We got so excited and then we went to the fourth frog and couldn't find it. We went to the fifth no frog. Sixth no frog. And then we started to think they didn't put any more frogs. We went to all the ones we wanted to and then went where Momma was and looked for the frog there. And we couldn't find it.

The theater

This is a Roman theater. People do acts like plays and performances. Red and Green Monster are doing a performance. I saw where the people sat and it was very close so they could see and hear the people acting. Next to the old theater there was a new theater.

Above the ceiling

Today I went up in the ceiling of this church and saw stories made out of frescoes. Someone came along and built a ceiling under the first one. You can't see the frescoes from the church floor. You have to go up stairs in the wall. The stairs were slanted down and they were narrow and spiraled.

mostri nella neve

Red and green monster found out this snow in vercelli is too deep to make snow angels so they went to sleep instead. Wen they came out they decided to play in the snow.
