Lugano is a beautiful city nestled between the Swiss and Italian Alps. In fact, you can stand in the middle of town and step into either country. The food offered is an array of both Swiss and Italian. Oh, and let's not forget the fabulous shopping!!! {:o) Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments! I wish I could thank each of you personally. Have a great creative day! Please do not use my photograph without my express consent. All rights reserved. Kathleen

Lugano, Switzerland This is a lovely little city which can't decide whether it is Swiss or Italian, which is absolutely perfect for travelers who love food, wine, and beer!! Traveling on the lake offers many opportunities to walk through the tiny villages which dot the shoreline. There are small restaurants, which are a delight, such as Bottegone del Vino in Gandria. The owner was an absolutely delightful gentleman who personally served our table with many delicious foods such as this perch served with a fantastic local white Merlot and a dessert of "nuts ice cream" with Nocino, a local brandy. Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments! I wish I could thank each of you personally. Have a great creative day!

Our driver, Mario, took us to Taverna Azzurra, a lovely restaurant located in the fishing village of Marina Grande in Sorrento on the Bay of Naples. Our table was outside so we had a wonderful view of the bay. We had visited Pompeii and were on our way back to Positano. The owner, Gennaro, took such lovely care of us and treated us to bruschetta and lemoncello!! Perfect way to end a fabulous day!

Agrippa was our favorite restaurant in the part of Rome where we stayed. This day, we had been to the Vatican for what we thought would be a private tour. Unfortunately, so did 30,000 other people. What should have been an extraordinary experience was overshadowed by pushing and shoving with no regard by the hoards for where we were! Two men got into a shoving fist fight and guards had to break them apart!! Good grief, we were in the Vatican!! It was an incredible experience of art, history, and our church. But, by the time, we entered St. Peters, it took some time to remind myself to pray ... With the stress behind, we headed directly to Agrippa for Aperol spritz, bruschetta, pino grigio, gnocci with muscles, claims and prawns, and fettucini with lobster. We deserved every sip and bite!!! {:o) Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments! I wish I could thank each of you personally. Have a great creative day!
