Next Monday the 17th is holiday at WFP, in lieu of 15th. It is FerraGosto. And I am not missing this opportunity to do some excurtions and going to Trieste (then Venice). Trieste is a city on the north-east part of Italy, has good trekking possibilities, the activity which I like most.
But I made my mind very late and till now couldn't find a guided trekking and a couch yet.
I forgot my GPS in Istanbul, my friend (actually my boss in Turkey) will come to Rome and bring it but on 17th Monday. But it is late for this trip, of course. It is good to have a GPS, espacially when you are trekking on the mountains which you don't know well. Anyway, If I can't find anything I will do my best and will try to do some on my own :) Lets see.
If you ask what FerraGosto is, it is Assumption Day, Assumption of Mary. And here in İtaly it is kind of festival.
From wikipedia "The Assumption of Mary is the traditional belief held by Christians of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglo-Catholic, and some Protestant churches that the Virgin Mary at the end of her life was physically taken up into heaven. ..."
