I’ve just reread the last post. What a week that was. Venice. The Dolomites. The leaky roof. Repairs. Back to the Dolomites and finishing at the immaculate Cortina d’Ampezzo. Cortina D’Ampezzo. Cortina is most certainly the playground of the rich, yet it’s not intimidating in the way of some such places. There are brand stores […]
