When you get off the train at Venice (Venezia in Italian), you step into a completely different world. To begin with, there are no cars, not even any motorcycles; only motorboats plying the numerous large and small canals. What’s more, the entire city (at least four square miles) consists of 600-year-old buildings built near the Continue reading Venice and Milan First stop on our trip, after landing in Milan, was to take a train trip to Bertinoro, a medieval castle dating from the 10th century (yes that is more than 1000 years old), where our conference was held.

We started at Wright’s Lake (el. 7000), about 15 miles north of Highway 50 near the crest of the Sierras, and then hiked east into the Desolation Wilderness.
