Thu 9 Oct- a walk to San Giovanni

Thu 9 Oct- it's a sunny cool 15-16 C breezy day, and we took a long walk again to enjoy the picturesque surroundings of Bellagio and the views of the lake. During our walk it warmed to 18-19 C and became quite pleasant. We went to the nearby San Giovanni town by way of back roads that were winding, cobblestone, and almost too narrow for a car. In San Giovanni we sat by the lake for a while, enjoying the peace and quiet, and warm sun. Then we walked back to the hotel for a beer and coffee.
Stan finished reading Tess Gerritsen 'The Mephisto Club' [http://www.tessgerritsen.com] while Kiyomi worked on her report.
For dinner we had: 1/2 liter house white wine, a selection of three kinds of smoked fish (tuna, salmon and cod), very thinly sliced as appetizer; crepes chef style (cheese and butter) and Trenette pasta with tuna & olives as first plate; roast chicken and escalope Lombardy style as second plate; vanilla pudding and tiramisu for dessert.
