The weather has turned as we are now nestled into the mountains on Lake Como. Very picturesque place, even shrouded in the mist, with pretty strong swells, kicked up by the winds rushing down the mountainsides. Not a lake you would venture out on if you were not in the proper type of craft but for an experienced sailor, I would think a worth challenge.

I think Amy and I had our best dinner so far on this trip last night at a place called La Vida. The staff was superb and the food, as the foodie’s always say, to die for, and with an electrical storm to accompany dinner, out on a deck, in the mountains, by a large body of water, maybe we could!

Amy had a very fine carrot soup a great way to get you vitamin A. Our entrees were lamb shank and medallions of beef cet bon and a nice Barolo Red wine.

Few more pictures from our short stay here on to Zurich today via the Bernini Express, a wonderful train ride up into the mountains beyond.
