After taking a 15 minute ferry from Varenna to Bellagio to explore, I hopped on another ferry for a 15 minute ride to Mennagio. The scenic shore as we approached Mennagio.
I walked thru a hotel lobby to the pool…so pretty!
Lots and lots of lavender…
Sidewalk cafes…
More delicious Italian gelato!

In June of this year, I flew from Chania, Crete at 6:20am to Zurich, Switzerland (with a connecting flight in Athens) arriving at 10:20am. An hour later I was on a 70 minute train from the Zurich Airport to Lucerne. I walked 10 minutes to my hotel, stored my luggage and went exploring.
The Chapel Bridge is very photogenic.
Since Covid-19, many establishments in the U.S. have created outdoor seating areas. I’ve always loved that about Europe.
The Lion Monument, or the Lion of Lucerne, was designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and hewn in 1820–21 by Lukas Ahorn. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution.
Lake Lucerne is so pretty.

I had visited Paris for one night back in the late 70’s when I was in the military and once more for a week when I took my niece in 2007. It hadn’t changed much, other than the metros seemed a little seedier, but I had changed a lot. I purchased a 7-day Navigo pass (you need to have a passport photo for it) that covered all forms of transport within a certain area and is the best value for your money. I visited most of the main sites a tourist goes to…the Eiffel Tower
Sacre Coeur
The Louvre Museum
Don’t remember the name of this bridge
Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel
I had to try the croque monsieur (a hot ham and cheese sandwich)
The rue Crémieux, know as the most colorful street in Paris
The expressions of the people are interesting…
I forget where I was when I took this photo
Luxembourg Gardens should definitely be on your list of places to visit!
This was my favorite French meal, but I can’t remember the name of it. It had fish and vegetables in it.

To visit San Gimignano from Florence I took two short bus rides. As you can see from the photos, San Gimignano is a beautiful town with views of the tuscan hillsides. Taking photos was the main source of entertainment on my trip and my souvenirs. Time doesn’t stand still except for when you snap a photo.
I love anything whimsical.
The shops were filled with lavender, ceramics, and lots of other things that wouldn’t fit in my luggage. I did purchase some jewelry and a wooden wine bottle holder for friends and my brother.
I loved taking a break with a cappuccino or a glass of wine to rest my feet.
Why do we love seeing laundry hanging to dry? Perhaps it takes us back to simpler times.
Italian gelato is the best in the world!
