    I went to Italy! Well, via skis, but at least I set foot there, since the only other time I “went” to Italy was by crossing the border of a lake.
It is possible to ski into Italy from Switzerland since the runs in Zermatt are all connected. Today, I played hooky from ski school and went off with Patrick and his sister to the Cervinia side of the slopes. Unfortunately, our jaunt was cut short by heavy gusts of wind and poor visibility (as you can see in the cloudy background of the above photo). Skiing into a blanket of white is a lot like being on an unpleasant boat ride. Yech.
