We had not been to the Italian lake country in a long time, and, with the lakes relatively close to Milan, we thought we'd spend a few leisurely days at Lake Maggiore.
 |
| So there we are, on the shore of Lago Maggiore, at Camping Solcio |
 |
| Closer up |
 |
| Curious neighbor |
 |
On an administrative day, a walk to nearby Lesa, on the lake; the lake climate
renders the whole place a botanical garden, where pretty much anything can
grow; the azaleas, the bougainvilleas, the camellias, the rhodos, the hydrangeas,
the wisteria...everything was going strong |
 |
| More walking around in Stresa, 5 miles up the lake, next day |
 |
| Classic old resort town |
 |
| With a fixer-upper here and there |
 |
| Reminder of Italy's grim role in WWI |
 |
| One of several beautiful 19th century hotels |
 |
| Set up for the day's wedding |
