Monte Berico 

Post 3

Mount Berico overlooks Vicenza, Italy where I was stationed as a paratrooper.  A big part of being a paratrooper was running, A LOT.  It seemed that we always ended up at Mount Berico whether we would run 2 miles or 10.  The picture on the top left doesn't do the daunting task of running up 200 stairs justice.  The top of the stairs is only about half way up the hill but at the top we got the reward of seeing the Basilica of St. Mary of Monte Berico, the picture on the right.  Another reward was the view of the city, the picture below.
