Long Awaited Italy Pics

Many of you know I spent 10 days last fall visiting my sister-in-law, nieces and the beautiful country of Italy. I wanted to share a few pics from the trip. Hopefully these will be things you can experience first-hand sometime in your lives. Italy is definitely a place I will need to visit again!

Villa Angelica (the name covers it!)

Lasize-a costal town on the east side of Lake Garda


Just one of many Gelateria's we enjoyed, and a nice view down the street


The marina at Lasize


The gorgeous blue waters of lake Garda, and a view across to the mountains on the west side of the lake


On a ferry ride we saw this!


Lasize and the eastern mountains from the ferry


Limone, the town where the Marathon began (I didn't run, but was on the support team)


Ruins of lemon orchards, for which Limone get it's name.




Anybody for some gelato and cappucino?


Walking through Limone's walled pathways, with peeks out over the lake. I was on child-chasing duty.


Vicki and the newest niece, Kera Grace.


My turn to hold her...too cute to let go!


Me and Nali, enjoying the ferry ride.


The runners (Vicki in dark blue, center, Jos in light blue to her right and Jess with the medal, left of center) and their training support (two gals on ends)


Yet another dessert to savor! Nali liked my selection.


Common view while walking through they cities.


Future residence?


I'd take the castle too!
