On Saturday, we continued our “Best of Lake Como” tour with Andy and Nash. The weather angels continued to bless us with sunshine and mild temperatures, and we spent the morning walking along some of the prettier parts of the Green Way trail. We then assembled the requisite picnic fare (wine, cheese, bread, honey, pesto, prosciutto, fruit…you get the idea) and spent another great afternoon cruising the shoreline of the lake in our own little rental boat. Back home for a nap, and then off again to the little town of Sala Comacino for a magical lakeside dinner.
Off for another morning hike and then to the boat for a cruise of the lake.
No hiding Andy. Everbody gets their picture taken!
Need more deapth of field in this shot. Sorry.

Courtyard grapes. Very handy.
Checking the water to make certain the day is nice enough.
Seriously Andy. Is it too early to start talking about dinner????
Nash really started to get his shutter finger limbered up.
Look. Up in the Sky! Its the baby’s stuffed animals.
Transfering into the rental boat we cruised the shoreline to get the water’s edge view of many of the towns.
Can you take us to the yacht?
Late afternoon sun on the stucco walls.
This looked like fun.
Darn it! Another place fully booked!
Major case of boat envy. 🙁
Almost home.
Safe and sound on dry ground and looking forward to dinner.
The restaurant was in a small piazza right on the water and the best dish was a lemon ravioli.
Have a seat. Your table is almost ready.
Can I take it for a spin?? Pleeeease????
And who better to share it all with?
Laura and Michael–
I have enjoyed your beautiful photos! Amazing! On a somber note: Please send someone to your house here in Houston. You have a leak on your kitchen patio from your drip system. It is running water 24/7. I am afraid your patio will be ruined…xxoo Michelle
Thanks so much Michelle. We will contact Mindy and Connor to take a look at it. I will have them shut it off. The plants will be at Mother Natures mercy. I hope all is well. I see the weather is cool in Houston.
Bravo Michael! you all are enjoying la bella Italia in the best way(s) possible! (and much more of this wonderfulness and we are going to lose count of all the ways!) Keep up the great work and the most excellent travelogue. (who knew you could write too?!)

Ciao Jerry, We are having a great time here at Lake Como. Nash and Andy just left today for 5 days in Paris before returning to Houston. We will be leaving here on Friday or Saturday and beginning our transfer to Sicilia. We will let you know later in the week the exact timing of arrival at your house. Enjoy the blog and look back at all the other posts. I am having quite a good time with it. I must admit that Laura is responsible for a good portion of the writing and editing.
