Last night I watched the strangest movie. IT made me forget where I was. When I woke up this morning my mind was a complete blank at first, then I knew it was time for breakfast. I know I’m getting plenty of sleep here, but I guess I still show that I’m not really a morning person. After we ate Mr. Wulff and I went on an adventure together. Daniel and Mrs. Wulff have been already so they stayed behind and relaxed while waiting for us.
We went to the
Bergbaumuseum.
It’s an underground copper mine that is now used to educate visitors but once was even used as a form of rehab for people with respiratory conditions because of the copper and other elements in the mine it would ease their
discomfort for a period of time, usually they would walk the mine for an hour or so every few days.
All the rocks were covered in russet and turquoise from the copper. You could smell the sulfur. It was cold so we wore sweaters and rain jackets with working helmets.
The colors melting together were breathtaking. I took some of my favorite photos down there. We have a tour guide, but
we also walked around with an electronic guide that translated the information.
I could hear water constantly and it was like being behind a waterfall. We took a small train up and down the mine shaft which was dark aside from light markers. We met up with Daniel and Mrs. Wulff afterwards and drove a little to go hiking again.
Today was along a white gravel path with river stream, mountains rolling over, cows with twinkling bells, and sun bathers. The river is crystal clear and you can drink from it. I put my hand in, it was cold to the touch. I almost pet a cow when Daniel jokingly dared me to, but it let me know not to.
I saw a pug this morning and it made me miss Squishy.
I find it funny when Daniel asks me if I’m upset or not having fun because I’m so quiet (but I’m just normally quiet) and when he was in NY he acted the same way, quiet, but polite (he says that’s just the way he is too)
I put my feet up on the balcony for a moment and then down and almost lost my shoe. I’m in nothing but a robe and I can only imagine looking over the edge to see my show had hit someone below and them yelling in Italian or German with me knowing not how to explain my apologies.
Tomorrow we’re going to Swarovski headquarters. I doubt they give any crystals away (like how Hershey gives kisses away) but I bet their gift shop will be bright and gleaming.
This is our last night in Italy. It was a trip I will never forget for the quiet peace it brought to my mind.
