This morning newspaper showed that there had been extreme flooding near Grado. Also, Tarvisio had 15 cm. of snow. We will be in Tarvisio in a couple of days. Mother Nature is throwing everything she's got at us but the Bartletts will fight back.
Well, this kind of sums up our journey in Italy so far - the before and after - showing flooding where we have been and snow where we are going. Yikes!
What a difference a day makes - today is predicted to have some sun and less rain. The square in Palmanova today is a busy, vibrant place. Yesterday it was deserted. These 2 nuns saw us riding by and waved and cheered us on.
Palmanova's fortified walls and gates are still mostly intact. Cars are much bigger than what was intended - so there are street lights to keep the traffic to a single lane.
