Bellagio

Today was fun for all senses: beautiful views of villas with Lake Como as a backdrop, the smell of a freshly baked cake from our landlords at Balcone dei Limone, the taste of creamy truffle risotto. Then there was the accordion player in Bellagio at the promenade and the feel of the cool terrace under my feet in the late afternoon.

Good day!

Also, I felt a vague nagging guilt about the inevitable gap in my fitness/activity history.

Or simply charging cars at night when demand drops… This could become an interesting part of the equation for the future!
