Welcome to Tirano

This is a small town in Northern Italy. The reason we went there was so we could take the Bernina Railway from St. Moritz to Tirano.  The train has a non standard gauge track so it cannot match up to any other track system.  There are two train stations in the city and you can walk next door and connect with the rest of Italy.   We walked around the town for an hour or so and then had lunch at an outdoor restaurant.   We took a bus back to St. Moritz so we could make a couple of different stops.  It was a really fun day.
