Miss me yet? I'm happy to say I'm back from 10 days of vacation in Northern Italy, and a super lovely stay it was. Our hotel was on the shores of Ledro Lake, a smaller lake near the northwestern corner of larger and more famous Lake Garda. We had the most beautiful weather throughout, and balanced our days between sightseeing the area, and hiking the lovely mountains surrounding us. This marked the first time we'd driven our own car to the vacation spot, some 1,000 km and crossing the Alps.
Here's a drop of representative pics:

The hills are alive with the sound of music...
