Arrivederci Italia!

View of Laglio from the middle road
    Sunday night, when re returned from Padua, we were invited to have dinner with our host family at the B&B.  This was another wonderful evening and a delightful meal.  Included were homemade gnocchi with a mushroom sauce. roasted pork shank (Gary's favorite). and cheesecake.  While visiting with Laura and Giorgio we learned of a third road that goes along the lake.  This is only a "footpath" and is midway between the Panorama or upper road and the via Lago or ( along the lake) lower road.
    Monday , after doing some packing, we decided to go for a walk on the "middle road".  It was a narrow path that provided some wonderful views as well as  great subjects for future paintings.
This is an example of what we saw on our 5 mile hike to Moltrassio.  (maybe like the "Appian Way to Rome)?


Our destination was Moltrassio, because John said he and his wife Evie always had a good meal at the Posta Ristorante, while visiting the area.  He was right!  We had a delightful meal after working up a huge appetite!  Gary had Veal Marsala and I had homemade Ravioli with Pine Nuts!  Delicious!


After our wonderful lunch, we took the bus on to Cernobbio to do a little shopping at the "mall". When we returned to Laglio, (this time by bus) our friend Aldo was fishing in front of the Piazza!  We waved to him and said good bye to his wife Anna who stopped by with her daughter and grand daughter.
All in all, it was a perfect ending to an incredible experience in Italy!

Arrivederci Aldo, grazie!

ARRIVEDERCI  ITALY!
