I spent this past weekend in Lake Como here in Italy, and I must say that it was a nice change of pace. Rather than spending my weekends running around a city or hiking the Cinque Terre, I was able to spend time relaxing and enjoying some free time that was not planned from start to finish!
Lake Como was very nice. We spent the weekend relaxing, kayaking, swimming, taking ferry rides, and exploring a couple of the towns on the lake! We were so lucky because the owner of the hostel let us actually stay in a studio in his house for the first night because he didn't have any room in the hostel. The place we stayed was amazing! It was clean, the staff was nice, and the location was perfect. On Saturday we went kayaking on the lake and we were able to explore a little bit more of the north part of the lake. Some of the houses on the lake just amaze me... the size is one thing, but the architecture, location, and view just bundle them together to make the perfect vacation homes.
Another interesting thing that has happened is that I will be visiting the European Union on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of next month! I am very excited about this because we will be meeting actual members of the EU and directors of all of Europe! I am more excited to go to Brussels to meet some members of the EU than I am to go to Amsterdam the following weekend, Florence in a couple weeks, or even the truffle festival next week. I think this just has to do with the fact that I am starting to understand the importance of things like the EU, and what that means to me and the way I am able to live my life!
This weekend I will be staying in Torino, next weekend we will be hiking Friday, truffle festival on Saturday, and wine tasting at a vineyard on Sunday, the following weekend we will be in Florence with Cesare, and the following weekend we are going to London for the Wilco concert!! STAY TUNED FOR MORE FUN!!!
Ciao,
Nate
