Date Night

As I said yesterday, Bellagio (not the casino in Las Vegas) is at the tip of the Lake Como Peninsula. It’s possible to drive there, but parking would be a problem. We took the ferry from Lecco which, if I recall correctly was a 45 minute ride, stopping at several towns along the way. Bellagio is a small town, and there were easily 2000 tourists there. It’s on a steep slope and the streets, if you could call them that, are very narrow. It’s a picturesque town to say the least. We had a fabulous open air lunch in Ristorante Bilacus under their trellis. The fish was perfect. Mind you there isn’t much AC in Italy. I bought a nice Italian shirt and silk tie in a little men’s shop across the lane. Here’s Bellagio:
