We visited Lake Como this weekend. Wow! It was so incredibly gorgeous. I can definitely imagine the place hopping during the summer with paddle boaters and an affluent crowd hitting up the high-end stores. The day was so serene. We mostly just meandered around the city and enjoyed the gorgeous lake. The city itself was also really cute. I especially enjoyed the cathedral. We also visited the monuments erected in honor of Alessandro Volta, the man who invented the battery. I'm so glad he did, because his start made it capable for my camera to be powered while taking pictures in Como. Another thing I really enjoyed in Como was the statue of the hands, which can be seen in the last picture. They were so detailed and looked so real! One of the coolest statues I have ever seen. We headed home from Como around 7 p.m., but ended up on a train that our ticket didn't cover (it was too high end). Luckily the ticket checker on the train was really nice and let us get off at the next stop and catch a different train. So we ended up hanging out in Brescia for about an hour and a half. But it worked out well, because we had dinner at a pizza and doner place owned by some really nice Turkish people. It was actually a fun, unplanned pit stop. Overall yet another great weekend.
