The Country of San Marino

 You learn something new every day! I knew Vatican City was its own country within Italy, but I had no idea that San Marino was also its own country within Italy. It is the 5th smallest country in the world and is the old Republic in the world as well! We parked at the bottom and took the cable car up to the towers. It was Kiwi's first ride on the cable car and the only rule was that she had to wear a muzzle during the ride (not a big fan - ha ha). Kiwi got a taste of what it is like for us to wear masks all day. She also had her first museum experience! (it is so great because dogs are allowed everywhere here!). We visited 2 of the 3 towers - the 3rd was closed, but we were able to get pictures). The country only has 30,000 residents and they elect 2 presidents a year. Truly an amazing society. We even met a lady whose family had emigrated to the U.S., but decided to move back to their little country. Such amazing history and such amazing views!!
