Den and Wen in Italy - The Dolomites Day 4

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026 - Breakfast at the Hotel Diamont was fun - as we were chatting, I was asked what kind of music I listen to on my Road Trips. When I said "Oh, rock 'n roll - The Rolling Stones, ...", the British lady at the next table exclaimed "OH - THE STONES ARE MY FAVORITE!" Smiles all around (and stories about Hyde Park performances 50 years apart).

We started the day with a 2/3 mile hike through town, to the little gondolas:

The Group is going on a 5-mile hike up on The Pralongià Plateau, with a cheese-tasting adventure in the afternoon. The Dixon's, however, are going to take it easy today (I'm getting a "Sports Massage"). So we hiked around The Plateau for a little while before going back down:

Wendy got to play for a bit:

Pretty view as we took the gondola back down:

Nice architecture in town:

We had lunch, and did our massages and relaxation (at one point in my "Sports Massage" I thought: "This will either help my pain, or I Will Never Walk Again." It helped the pain.). Later in the afternoon, I looked up Wendy's location on "Find Friends":

Dinner-with-the-group, and off to bed. WOW - Thank you God for this wonderful Dolomite-Adventure Day!
