Pieces of history have something to tell us ...

Postcard of March 2nd, 1967:

1967_cherta_sanlinert_low
It's always interesting to see old photos or postcards about our town of Badia. The postcard above was given to us by a loyal guests who wanted to know one thing, exactly which hotel in Badia in year 1967 had already a swimming pool. We translate for you the text of the postcard so you will know more:

Dearest Mother!

Today we have the first sunny day. Otherwise always rainy and cloudy. In the Hotel there is a swimming pool. We swim every morning before breakfast. Don't fear about the skiing, we aren't it's to warm. Otherwise we like it here. The days pass in a hurry. On March 12th we will fly back home from Munich.

Regards, Ruth, and Ursula


So the first hotel in our valley that had a swimming pool was exactly located in our hometown of Badia and it was the Sporthotel Teresa.

Other interesting facts that we can deduce from the text of this postcard are:

  • The beginning of March 1967 was rainy and it was too warm for skiing
  • Postcard was written on March 2nd, no one knows how many days before Ursula and Ruth checked in at the hotel. But their departure was scheduled for March 12. Time ago guests were enjoying a really long holiday in the Dolomites.
  • The cost of a stamp in 1967 was 30 Italian Lire? Compared to know it would be 0,021 US$

You have some interesting ancient postcards of some holiday in the Dolomites? Then load them on our Facebook page or send it by e-mail.

Primavera - Spring - Frühling?

(download)

Normalmente questo effetto accadeva a primavera e non a metà gennaio. Ci aspettiamo quindi un ritorno dell'inverno a grandi forze a Febbraio

Usually we see this result during spring and not mid of January. We expect a strong return of winter in February

Normalerweise passiert so was in Frühling aber nicht mitte Januar. Winter wird stärker zurück sein in Februar

Goethe, about Nature!

091030_altonn_23

NATURE! We are surrounded and embraced by her: powerless to separate ourselves from her, and powerless to penetrate beyond her.

Without asking, or warning, she snatches us up into her circling dance, and whirls us on until we are tired, and drop from her arms.

She is ever shaping new forms: what is, has never yet been; what has been, comes not again. Everything is new, and yet nought but the old.

We live in her midst and know her not. She is incessantly speaking to us, but betrays not her secret. We constantly act upon her, and yet have no power over her.

The one thing she seems to aim at is Individuality; yet she cares nothing for individuals. She is always building up and destroying; but her workshop is inaccessible...

She performs a play; we know not whether she sees it herself, and yet she acts for us, the lookers-on...

The spectacle of Nature is always new, for she is always renewing the spectators. Life is her most exquisite invention; and death is her expert contrivance to get plenty of life...

We obey her laws even when we rebel against them; we work with her even when we desire to work against her...

She is an eternal present. Past and future are unknown to her. The present is her eternity. She is beneficient...

No explanation is wrung from her; no present won from her, which she does not give freely. She is cunning, but for good ends; and it is best not to notice her tricks...

As she works now, so can she always work.

J. W. Goethe
