Last Saturday some friends and I went to Asolo, a few kilometers away from Paderno. We had heard that there was a bar there where we could play beer pong but long story short, it was a no go. Despite this setback, it was an amazing time. We went to a nearby gelateria, got some gelato, and tasted some strawberry prosseco which was absolutely delicious! The red liquid would bubble in your mouth as the mix of strawberries and wine danced around on your tongue. It was so good we all decided to buy a bottle to ourselves, so you can imagine the look on the locals' faces. A couple of Americans walking the streets cracking bottles and having a good time!
Roaming the streets ended as we trekked up the mountain towards the castle. After a good twenty minutes of huffing and puffing, we finally reached our destination. Out of breath, sitting on a wall with our feet dangling, the view was incredible. Italy stretched beyond what the eye could see. Lights of orange, yellow, and light blue littered the dark landscape, and some even appeared as if they were floating in the sky where mountains could only be seen during the day. Quiet was all one could hear except for the occasional car whizzing by on the freeway, I couldn't help but keep silent as I gazed upon the view stretching before me. It felt surreal thinking I as where I was...
