Lazin' By Lake Como

Many years ago, when I was, ooh, much younger than I am now, I took a trip to Lake Garda.  I remember it fondly as it was the first time I’d ever seen a lemon growing on a tree.  I mean, I knew they grew on trees; I’d just never actually seen them with my own eyes.   During my trip, I stayed on the lakefront in a little town called Limone, so I guess NOT seeing lemons would have been a better story.   Anyway, the Garda trip was also my first foray to Italy and I was smitten.  I spent endless sunny days wandering along streets, staring out at the water, and long, cool evenings, drinking wine and staring out across the water.   Bliss.
