Halloween Trick-or-Treating, Minturn 2011

Awesome evening yesterday!!!
Great friends, great food and... well... TOO MANY trick-or-treaters!!! Goush!!!
We haven't even tried to count them this year. Maybe next year we'll put one of those gates to count people that are coming in. Kinda like in the lift lines in Italy. This way it's gonna be easier to count anybody. He-he! ;o)

Enjoy the pics and thanXXX again for coming over, or just stopping by to say CIAO!!! :o)

Where's my treasure???!!!???
Arrr-arrr-arrrggghhh!!!



Our sweet little Godzilla came to visit us with her Princess sister and parents.
Unfortunately, the Princess ran away before I could took any pic.

Godzillina with her Cat-mama.

Scary robber Pat, funny pirate Chris and happy skier Rudy.
Somebody mentioned that Chris could "almost" look like Johnny Depp,
although... ehm... would anybody tell Johnny Depp to come over next Halloween???
;o)

Still wondering what the Valbruna Team is up to???

Although I really can't tell what they were talking about right here:
snow, deliveries, more drinks???
Or maybe Marco was just planning another of his travels
to leave his Staff wondering where he went to this time? ;o)

Happy people!!! :o)

The adults got help from the kids to hand out candies:
not sure who was having more fun!

Some of the 100s of trick-or-treaters that came to our window.
They started at 4 pm and by 9 pm we had to shut the lights off and lock the doors or we wouldn't have been able to go to bed.

Few more little helpers that were handing out the candies.

Very first stop in London
Highlight of the trip

Italy 2011, Sept 9 - 28. Great trip once again. London for 2.5 days with Chris and Glen. That places is crazy ! Lots of people, everywhere we went. We saw the show "Stomp" in a crazy old theater. Then off to Dolomiti, Santa Croce, Palauro, Valbruna, Kobarid for the Italian portion. Chris and Glen joined us for a bit of Italy also. Even hit a beach in Croatia for the day. Pictures aren't really in any order. (sorry)
Bike ride around Sella Rhonda. This was the only day when the weather wasn't perfect.
Passo Gardena ( I think)
Hardly any rain, thank goodness I got an early start.
I finished just when the rain started coming down, big time. 2 hours and 50 minutes to complete the loop, with my stops. Suffering.

Special statue to Simoni, Passo Pordoi, I think

Usually everything in Europe is small, but not this pepper shaker that Glen tests out. Very serious.....

Luggage carts in Rome. I could barely get my back-pack in it but very fashionable.
