Monte Berico

It is funny... in each of the cities that we have lived in while we have lived in Europe, there is always a tall mountain right beside the city. I suspect the reasoning for this is that way back in the day - it would have been much easier to watch for enemies if you had a tall lookout advantage. Anyway, we love walking/running to the top of Monte Berico. It has a beautiful surprise at the top (a beautiful view that depending on the weather - you can see the Alps off in the distance). We are still learning about the history here, but love to observe the architecture and layout in the meantime. Simply beautiful (and cardiovascularly - is that a word?? - much appreciated after the completely flat runs we had in Florida).
