lungolago in Piemonte

We just spent a few leisurely, slow-paced days, just the three of us, together, without distractions along the shore of one of the lakes in the northwestern Piemonte region of Italy.


There was time for alpine exploring,

at the lake 1


and rock throwing,

at the lake2


and sun worshipping,

at the lake3


and island hopping,

at the lake 6


and a passaggiata (stroll) or two along the lungolago (lake front)...

at the lake4


... and then there were the gardens.

at the lake5


In time I hope to share the details of our sojourn at Lago Maggiore, but for now I've got laundry waiting and a six year old badly in need of a shower. 

Hope you had a great spring weekend, too.

  2. Funny you should mention that as we did notice that there were many, many Germans at the lake on this weekend. We also noticed a large number of Eastern Europeans and French-speaking visitors.

  3. These are super! Love the one on the boat and the worshipping the sun! That's what I look like when it finally gets warmer in the north east after a hard winter! I'm afraid the sun may disappear forever!
