Our 30 hour ordeal is behind us and we are ready to take on Italy! What a day (and a half)! After 9 hours on the plane (sans sleep) we tackled the Transitalia rail system with 150 lbs of luggage! With all the preparation from our Italian friend, John in KC, Murphy's Law still was in play for the 9 hour trip to Lake Como. We agreed that "people watching" should be the national European sport instead of soccer. Needless to say, when we found Stefano with his Mercedes waiting in Como for our last 20 minute trek to the B&B in Laglio, he was a sight for sore eyes!

What a beautiful ride it was up the west side of the lake to our home away from home! There is a painting around every curve along the tiny winding road. When we arrived in Laglio we were greeted by Laura and Daniello and their 7month little boy John. They speak English well and our place is very comfortable.
Before we went to bed last night we visited the neighborhood grocer and purchased some sandwich fixings and a bottle of wine! We walked across the road from our B&B and had a picnic! Ciao for now!
