Where to next? Will it be the Dolomites?

Well, perhaps not--More from a financial perspective than that of an interesting trek. Proposed approximately 3 weeks ago, it looks like this trek suggestion has been filed away for another day. I hope it wasn't actually for lack of interest. I know that two members of the group could not make the trip due to previous obligations. I really haven't heard much else. The exchange rate, though, is not looking good.

Tho Dolomites offer not only substantial beauty, and challenging terrain, but abundent history. As an example of the beauty please take a look at these photos by photographer Jack Brauer. Ok, he even includes some of the history.
