An Italian evening...

I just had an absolutely amazing carpaccio and a fragrant local wine at a place on a little twisty micro-neighborhood street near my hotel. Then I went to the gelateria by the water, and sat eating my gelato and looking out over the awesome late-evening face of Lake Como.

It's almost enough to make me not cranky that the rest of my trip to Italy is going to be spent working on a giant grant proposal, due Monday while I'm flying back, that I had hoped would be mostly done before I left and finished by others.

Almost. Friend of Bart

Trip in Italy

Hey! Italy is not only "Lake of Como". You should visit the rest of my country.. Venice, Tuscany, Trentino, Emilia-Romagna, and so on.. ;)

Believe me, I'd love to visit more of Italy

My only previous trip to Italy was to Florence. That was also very nice. Smiling

Sometime soon, I hope to take a pure vacation trip to Italy with my wife, rather than a conference trip like these have been. I love the Italian lifestyle, of course especially the food; the people are very friendly and kind.

I cannot, however, recommend the Best Western near the Milan Airport. Friend of Bart
