Hi Everyone!
The past few days I have been exploring Milan and Lake Como. I spent one night in Milan and due to a flight delay didn't get in until late. But...I did get to see the Duomo, a few other sights and got my first italian gelato! Delicious!

The next morning, I look the train and bus up to Lake Como. I stayed in a town about halfway up the lake called Menaggio. It was an adorable little town with restaurants and shops. I took the ferry to a few different towns on the lake including Varenna and Bellagio. Both were wonderful. Varenna is a classical italian lakeside village, and I hiked to the ruins of an old castle on the top of a mountain. Bellagio had a lot of fancy stores, but I like going through the narrow alleyways and doing some shopping.
Today I took the train to Venice! Have you ever imagined a city where there are no cars, the "roads" are water, and people get around by boat? Where the gorgeous stone buildings seemingly float on the water and bridges connect the small alleyways for people to walk on? Well...it's not imaginary at all - it's Venice! A magical place that I can't wait to explore more! I am off to walk the alley ways and cross the bridges and maybe even take a boat cruise down the Grand Canal!
Ciao!
