Explorations

Yesterday afternoon I went for a walk around town and hiked up part of Monte Rosso, a solitary hill with lovely views of the surrounding lake region, only to be chased down by approaching thunderstorms.

The area in which I am staying is called Verbania " Intra" because it lies between two mountain fed rivers that empty into Lago Maggiore.  

I took a pedestrian path over an iron bridge (circa 1905) and couldn't help but reflect on how it must have witnessed the passing of troops, etc. during both world wars...

Here are a few pictures:

If you look closely, you can see the dome and bell tower of the basilica near where I am staying.

Peace & god love you!
