A Day in San Marino

I know it been awhile since I wrote anything here. Work has been crazy. But last Saturday I was able to make it down to a little country called San Marino. Its no bigger than a small city and its completely contained within Italy. Built on a big old mountain called Mt Titan, its a very cool place.

It also happens to be the oldest independent country in the world. All throughout history, they have fought for their independence. Napoleon didn't even try to conquer them.

Anyways, this isn't a history lesson. We spent the day walking around the old town which is about 750 meters high on the top of the mountain. It was a beautiful morning, but the clouds started rolling in after lunchtime. We were on the castle wall perched atop Mt Titan and you could literally see the low clouds creep up the mountain from below us. It was a really cool sight.

Not a whole lot to do in this little country; just walking around, there are some nice little shops, old arcitechture, a few restaurants, and of course the natural scenery. All in all, it was a nice way to kill a Saturday. Another stamp in the passport too.
