Lake Como

In an effort to extend our final Italian vacation, we stopped for an overnight at Lake Como on our drive home. Had we known how much we would fall in love this area of Italy, we would have planned to stay two nights!


We stayed in Cernobbio and, despite many closed shops on this quiet holiday weekend, had a wonderful time exploring our tiny, lakeside town.


Along the lake front promenade


A park with a beautiful lake view . . .

and a merry-go-round with fire engines and hats?!?!
Italian bambinos live the good life.

(And when Jeff and I had the best cappuccino of our lives here, Italian parents received our vote for living the good life as well!)


A beautiful river rushing down the mountainside.


Rustic paint color, fading walls, shutters, olive tree, and a Fiat.
This is forever Italy to me.

Bless you, Italy! Thank you for hosting us five times in our two years in Europe.
You will be with us forever!
