Our trip to Cortina and Lago di Misurina!

Soo yesterday we took a day trip to these beautiful little towns in the mountains called Cortina and Lago di Misurina. Before we went, my Mom had informed me that Cortina is one of my Grandpa's favorite towns in Italy and he and my grandma would go often, where she would buy her famous fur coats. I could understand why they loved this place so much, it was simply beautiful! Apparently the people who live there are generally very wealthy, and it's a very common vacationing place for celebrities. Huge green mountains are surrounding the town, where you can take ski lifts and gondolas up to look over the whole valley. Since the mountains are much cooler, it was amazing to escape from the deathly heat and humidity for a day...it even began to rain there later in the day. After Cortina, we took a trip farther up into the mountains to another little town, Lago di Misurina. There was a lake surrounded by the mountains and the very small community, it was truly breathtaking. Everything was so green surrounding, and the mountains all around us really gave the illusion of being so far from regular society. We took a trip up in the ski lifts to the top of the mountain, where we got to see the whole panorama...it was amazing! Despite the cloudy sky, the view was so perfect...like a picture. I had such an amazing time and could not stop taking pictures of everything...from basically every angle possible. Well here are just a couple pictures of our trip, and two videos that I took at Lago di Misurina :)
