Como

After a nearly six hour train trip, we arrived at Lake Como in the early evening Monday. We are staying at the Hotel Borgovico in the town of Como and will soon be exploring some of the more well known lake towns.

We met two nice, well spoken young men at the railroad station in Milan who were on their way back to their hometown Hamburg, Germany. They had been traveling all over Europe with back packs and guitars, playing music in town plazas for the sheer joy of it. They admitted being somewhat "travel weary", and I now can identify with them. I am looking forward to seeing Lake Como, but I will also be happy to be home at the end of the week!
