Lakes, wine, alps, trains, oh my


How much can you pack in one head spinning day, starting with a short stop along Lake Como in Northern Italy. 


 Followed by a wine tasting and formal lunch in the ancient wine growing area of Lombardy.


The first “appetizer” course of local cured meats. One serving. Whoa.

Followed by a fresh buckwheat pasta in cream garlic Gorgonzola sauce. Bread and cake. Wine with each course. Delicious but heavy on an insanely hot afternoon. Discovered we are lightweights, because no one at the table had trouble polishing it all off.




Then back on the bus to Tirano and the Bernina Express train station.



I could spend the morning trying to put into words the mind boggling trip across the high Alps.
