W24 of Y2

Aiden

Look what I found crumpled up in Aiden's backpack....

I thought these were so sweet and these kids obviously know Aiden (AKA: AJ) well!!  
Santuario della Madonna di Monte Berico 

We wanted to hike up to Monte Berico this weekend but couldn't find the starting point to begin the hike so we ended up driving up there.  

According to the legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to a peasant here in 1426 and 1428 to tell him to build a church - promising it would end their economic and health problems (from a terrible plague).  They built the church 3 months after the second visit.

This is the church of Monte Berico


You also get a beautiful view of Vicenza!



A lot of interesting statues/monuments

This one is my favorite!








It was a beautiful day!!!
