Tuesday evening

We are now in Stresa at a most beautiful hotel full of old world charm. Lots of gilt, mirrors, and rococo furnishings.  Really so charming.  It is on the side of Lake Maggiore and we are socked in with the weather.  Foggy and rainy and cool, too.  Didn't believe I would get cool again.  We had a long bus ride today, leaving about 8:15 and had a lovely visit in Verona where others walked to see Juliet's reputed

home...but maybe not.  We walked to a nice little restaurant and passed the time most pleasantly watching the passing parade. Our trip is coming to an end, and although will be glad to be home, will miss the company of such nice people, for dinner, drinks and just passing the time of day.  Our bedroom has a huge chandelier probably from Murano.  Quite charming!
