This trip is appropriately named by Beyah and accompanied with a soundtrack.
June 12-21, Jamie, Beyah and Ina join me in Italy!
We went to the Seaside (Borgio Varezzi) in Savona

We visited caves, beached it for two days, savored wonderful food at Ristorante Da Casetta, where everything is homemade, from locally grown veggies, olive oil, noodles, and pesto sauce, to fresh fish from the sea. For two that like to travel cheep, we splurged on this meal and loved every bite. Our waiter was good a practicing English on us and flirting with the girls. The gellato? Well the very best so far, they had Nutella that was irresistible, even after trying to have some self discipline! We were trying to figure if it was straight Nutella or if they added some creme to it. Well either way...
Anjelica (the other woman I met in St. Louis) invited us to her Villa in the countryside. We took the train back to Carimate (we concentrated hard on that stop so we wouldn't end up in Switzerland). Jamie wore a backpack and pushed Ina in a stroller, I pulled my bag and held Beyah's hand who was in charge of the electronics bag. We managed the Metro, stone streets, train cars, stairs, and a too small elevator very well.

Villa Calvi in Monte Solaro Village
So here we are trying to picture what life was like in the 1600's. On our morning run we imagined ourselves riding in a carriage down the pathway to the view above, all dressed fancy for the ball. "Jamie's hair was like so cute and her dress was brand new!"
Went to Bellagio, on Lake Como. Had a fantastic fish lunch, toured Angelica's brothers summer house and jumped in the lake.

Last night of girl style!
