Im back!  Home with wifi.  I need to backtrack to May 13, I think….our last day in Milan area.  We took a train to St. Moritz in the Swiss Alps.  Caught the tour bus and headed to a small Italian town where we will stop to see the cathedral before going to the Italian/Swiss town to have lunch and catch the train.  It is on the border.  The cathedral is beautiful…all of them are and after seeing it and walking around a bit we move on.  Beautiful flowers are in bloom, roses, azaleas and iris are everywhere.  At the border town we have lunch and our guide recommends a pasta dish with buckwheat noodles, boiled cabbage, boiled little potatoes and a cheese melted over it.  I will find the name of the cheese and let you know.  It is worth fixing this vegetarian dish.  Delicious due to the cheese used.  We get our train tickets and board the small electric train for our trip thru the Bernina Pass.  This train track is over 100 years old and on the World Heritage List.  We go for miles thru the snowy Alps seeing huge waterfalls and glaciers and frozen lakes.  It is a beautiful day as we climb thru the clouds and wind our way up and up.  When we get to St. Moritz, we walk around the town that is still basically shut down as it is still not the tourist season.  Just as well…the stores are very high end.  Fun looking in the windows and then going to the chocolate store which is open.  Beautiful row upon row of every kind of chocolate you can think of and a bit pricy.  I go to the cafe next door for a delicious hot chocolate and am joined by a nice couple from Boston who are so kind and pay for my drink!  It is cool, but pleasant enough to sit outside and visit and people watch.  Then it is time to head back to the bus and head for home.  The bus drove to St. Moritz as we were on the train.  Our bus driver got a loud cheer as we made it down the winding road to more level and straight highway.  We made it back to Milan after another long day and went to the end of the block from the convent to a bar…got a drink and bar snacks and pizza for dinner and went to bed.  The next morning, we went to the train station after telling Suzanne goodbye (she flew home from Milan) and caught a non stop train back to Rome.  Loads of laundry and cleaning to get ready for my friend Diane to arrive from Dallas in two days.  A new adventure awaits!  We have definitely decided we will NOT stay at the convent when we return to Milan in about ten days.  If we can’t get into the Monastery hostel we will get a hotel room.  Can’t do the sardine routine at this point in life!
