I guess I don’t have to tell you that the food here is unbelievable. First there’s appetizers, then 1st plate, then 2nd plate, then salad & bread, then fresh fruit in every restaurant, then dessert if you want it. Attached is a picture of the fresh fruit cup. They peel & cut everything when you order it. Now I’m not a huge fruit fan, but I ate most of my fruit cup. The owner wanted to know why I didn’t finish. Joe’s cousin said, “She loves sweets.” The lady then brought me a little red bag, compliments of the restaurant for the seniorita. Italy—she’s a wonderful country. I opened it later & there were 3 cookies inside. Mmmmmm …
Venice was like nothing I’ve ever seen. Of course I haven’t seen much, barely having been outside of MD. We took a gondala ride—-that was cool. I tried to attach just a few pics. You could really get lost in Venice. The streets are crazy narrow & go every which way.
Lake Como was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! It’s in the Italian Alps …. where George Clooney has a villa.It’s about 15 minutes outside of Switzerland.
Pictures look bad. I guess I did a poor job of taking them. It was so nice. It was very windy roads & narrow. At some parts, it was a straight drop down heaven knows how far with only a little flimsy guard rail to protect you. If someone would have hit us, it would have been bye-bye. That part scared me. The grass over here is really green already & flowers are blooming. Very, very beautiful!!And the mountains so are much bigger than they appear. On one pic. I think you can see the sail boats in the water—these sail boats are HUGE! And if you look close, you can see towns at the bottom of the mountains—-for scale.
“Pictures look bad”?? Is she crazy? Holy cats, I wish I could go to Italy now – actually, just live there. I think I could get used to someone peeling and cutting my fruit while I looked at the beautiful country.
When’s Peggy back?
She is supposed to be back tomorrow…I just can’t imagine dragging yourself in after traveling all day today.
Loved the story, Brad.
I hate you just a little, Peggy.
I mean that in the nicest possible way :D!
And, I can’t wait to see your name in the right hand list again! YAY for Peggy being back!!
Do we have to start-a writing in Italiano? Spaghetti? (That’s all I got.)
