*WHAT'S ON THIS WEEKEND28 - 31 March 2014*

*Quote of the day*


*/Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with 
regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand 
about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, 
while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things 
renders men cautious in passing judgement upon anything new. /*

*OnSunday 30 March at 2 a.m. remember to put forward your clocks by one 
hour as the daylight saving time will come into effect*.

*NATURE AT ITS BEST:*

*Hiking in Val Rosandra (half or full day), Trieste*

The//Val Rosandra Valley encloses a remarkable natural environment and 
it's really worthwhile to take a walk through its paths, by the stream 
and natural ponds, surrounded by typical carsic vegetation. Make sure 
you have good sneakers on and enough water. Walk along colour-marked 
footpaths, each marked by CAI (Italian Alpine Club), ranging from very 
easy paths to others that require a certain ability. There are easily 
accessible caves for speleologists and archaeology lovers and a 
trattoria right at the beginning of the valley. You can reach it by 
taking Bus 40 from the Central Train Station in Trieste and getting off 
in Bagnoli della Rosandra.

*"La Napoleonica" Panoramic route*mostly overlooking the sea, on the 
Trieste karst. Take Bus 4 from Piazza Oberdanto the "Obelisco" and go 
walking or jogging on the Napoleonica (Napoleon's path). If you wish, 
you can take path number 12 (marked by C.A.I - Italian Alpine Club) and 
reach the Sanctuary of Monte Grisa, proceed to Opicina through the Via 
Crucis path (number 12) and finally return to the Obelisk and take the 
bus back to the city.

*MISCELLANEA*

_Trieste's historical cafes_: The Tommaseo Cafe' (Riva 3 Novembre) and 
the San Marco Cafe' (Via Battisti 13) are places where writers, 
intellectuals and artists still meet. Presentation of books, art 
exhibits and musical evenings are held there.

_Renown Triestine Buffet in town_: "Da Pepi", via Cassa di Risparmio nr 
3: a typical Triestine old-fashioned food place where one can have 
excellent ham sandwiches at the bar or enjoy the special house dish, a 
variety of meats served with sauerkraut and freshly grated horseradish. 
Good selection of wines and beers. Reviewed by the New York Times as the 
best in the Region. Only hitch: it's not as cheap as you'd wish!

_Traditional pastry shops,_ dating back to 1850, decorated in "Liberty " 
style:*"La* *Bomboniera"* in via XXX Ottobre (near Piazza San Antonio) 
withits deiicious pastries and coffee served in a cosy historical 
environment and *"Pasticceria* *Pirona"* in Largo Barriera 12, where
