The morning isn’t well, but we decide to trek. The weather in this 2013 was not very good and prevent us to do our usual trip in the mountains... but we have to see the situation of the paths in the Alps so we prepare our backpack and go to Canale d’Agordo. Along the route, in Agordo, we meet the rain. Oh gosh!!! But our arrival is near so we go along.
We arrive in Canale d’Agordo and park behind the church, a rapid view to the weather, that seems to say us..hurry up, because I want to do my job! We start our trip.
