Long
weekends in Italy: Gran Paradiso
Aosta
A
nice long weekend in the Gran Paradiso National Park, July 2003.
Right
the way over the St Bernard pass, we find ourselves in the old Roman city of Aosta,
poised geographically to have some fun. 
Our
view from Hotel Europa, adjacent to the central square, 10 July 2003. 
Traveling
companion Kristin, before the ruins of the ancient Roman stadium, pondering upon
the fate of those sorry Democrats who, two millennia ago, filled these seats but
failed to turn out to vote for ANYONE opposed to the present collection of clowns
and midnight malefactors in power and, in the end, were fed one by one to the
lions. 
A
kewl tower in Aosta, the Balivi tower. 
The
central square of Aosta, Piazza Chanoux, with folklorique wood things and the
Palazzo del Municipio behind (left). 
More
good Aosta: the cathedral, with the belltowers behind. 
Saints
lined up in order for inspection: more good Aosta. Some
ancient gateways in Aosta. 
Kristin
in the high street, alert for bargains.

cathedral's bell towers
