Italy and Switzerland 2018
Posts from our trip to Italy and Switzerland from September 25 to October 9, 2018. Heather and I took Heather’s parents on an itinerary that included Rome, the Tuscan countryside, Siena, Assisi, Florence, Varenna (on Lake Como), finishing in Luzern, Switzerland.
I’m on a six hour train ride through the Alps to Luzern, but we’re not to the scenic part yet, so I thought I’d kill some time by documenting some of the resources I’m using to make my travel easier and more enjoyable.

Yesterday at dinner, I ordered an antipasto of “polenta with fish from Lake Como.” The fish was served whole and our waitress was having a lot of fun watching me try to separate flesh from bones. “No. Eat it all! Even bones!” She got a good laugh out of that. ? (Varenna, Lombardy, Italy)
