lake como

The next day we flew to Italy and arrived at our hotel on Lake Como, in a town called Travernola. It was much hotter in Italy than it was in France. We had a beautiful room with a balcony that overlooked the lake. We had a quick lunch at the hotel, after settling in.

We knew when we arrived in this area that our main transportation would be by ferry boat. So we took a boat to the closest town of Como and walked around, scoping out Como. Como wasn't as charming as we hoped, but we did find a small grocery store, which was perfect. We shopped for some of our favorite foods, cooling off from the day's heat. Afterwards, grocery bags in hand, running from stop to stop, we caught our boat back just in time, after going to two wrong stops.

Later at the hotel we had a sweet picnic dinner on our deck, laughing at ourselves for being clueless tourists. We talked to Sky that night. It was morning time for her. As we planned our next day's adventures, we smiled at the sun shining on the dazzling lake, and watched the boats peacefully going by, wondering about all the people in all of the houses on the enormous lake. We hoped they we having as much fun as we were.
