…where does that Quelle Aventure cover photo come from?<\/p>\n

These photos were taken during a hike with my advisors in the Alps of Tarvisio, Italy. Tarvisio is part of the province of Udine and within the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Italy. We took a car ride from Villach (about 1 hour) to our approximately 6-hour hike, which looked like this:<\/p>\n

At the base of the snowy mountains were fields of beautiful blooming wildflowers, naturally conjuring up all of the Sound of Music scenes and giddy joy.<\/p>\n

\nWe didn’t get to reach the very top of this mountain due to remnants of the unusually snowy winter, but we did get close. After our descent, we consumed fresh Italian pasta, beer, and Montasio cheese made on the premises at the mountain hut! I can’t wait to do some more hiking around these gorgeous mountains.<\/p>\n

\nAnd in case you were ruminating, what does Quelle Aventure mean? Or, how do you pronounce it?
\nQuelle Aventure = French for “what an adventure!”<\/strong>
\n Quelle Aventure = KELL AHH-VAHN-TOOR<\/strong><\/p>\n
