Brescia

November 24, 2013

On Sunday we decided to go to church in Brescia.  This is where Antonella lives.  She is one of the study buddies I had during the 6 weeks I was learning some Italian.  Antonella would get up at 3 am in Italy to help me via Skype learn some Italian.  It was great to meet her and her family.  Her sacrifice to help me touched me deeply.  Her mother, Father, brother, sister and herself have all served full time missions for the church.

After church on the way home we decided to drive around Lago Isola.  It was a beautiful drive.

As we were driving north up the eastern side of the lake, following some very narrow roads we came to this blocked tunnel.  We had to turn around and drive on a different road.

At the northern end of the lake we stopped and took some pictures.

The road going south along the western side got very narrow.  Carved right into the mountain side.

Out in the distance is a mountain that raises up out of the lake.
