On of second to
last day in traveling a four-country circle road trip in the heart of Europe we
stayed at a wonderful family-run hotel on the shore of Lake Como. Our plan was
for a short drive to Verona to stay the night before flying to Paris. We were
early. The navigator using her guidebook of Lonely Planet saw a great visit off
our planned route to the town of Sirmione. It is a wonderland of castles and
views of La Garda. We met this hippo in the center of the village. We walked the streets and enjoyed every moment of it
-- until I paid the tab for lunch. In my pocket was the key to the safe back at
the hotel in Como. Our passports were safe! Off we went and saw the city of
Bergamo (home of San Pellegrino water) the third time. The passports were
waiting for us, and we got to Verona on time for dinner, but the little
Mercedes we rented zipped at high speed; the rush of air ridding the driver of
his "sweat'.
