Last week we had visitors all the way from Wyoming - Kara, Greg, Ben* and Teo. They are doing a grand European vacation, stopping in Zurich on the way out and the way back, with a sojourn in Italy in between. So we accompanied them on the first leg of the trip, and hired a huge people carrier to travel to Lecco/Malgrate on Lake Como in the north of Italy. Before we were even over the border Ilona announced that she wanted to live in Italy for ever. I assume this is because of the food, pasta, pizza and ice cream forming the majority of her food pyramid. This was also a nice way to celebrate my birthday, especially as we found a sea food restaurant for lunch.
*Ilona was heard to exclaim several times "there's 2 Bens" with great wonderment
Birthday Lunch
For some reason it was necessary to remove flip flops and drop them in the water
On the way back we stopped at a service station for lunch, and Leroy-Della, Ilona's Scottish sheep make a break for it, and fell out of the car. Fortunately someone found her before he could get too far, sticking her in a tree where she couldn't be missed
