This is me. I tossed on a sport coat and walked out on the veranda at the Buena Vista Hotel (a B&B) right on the shore of Lake Como. From the veranda you can see Lecco across the water. We were ready to head down and get our rental car and drive out to Bellagio and then to dinner.
We had not planned this stop, but it turned out to be wonderful. It was non-tourist Italian and from beginning to end a lovely visit with the family who owned the hotel. Highlights were: watching the kite-surfers in the lake, meeting a Swedish couple and taking photos for one another, the best toast I have ever had done by a man that knows little more about cooking than toast but does it very well, and spending time with three generations of folks who love what they do. And, there is the story about leaving my passport in the safe and getting almost to Verona before discovering it - but that is saved for another time.
