Casa Rina

Today we stayed at our villa all day…we slept late, cooked and ate our breakfast, sat on the terrace and read, sat in our living room and read, napped, cooked and ate our lunch, walked around the grounds, took photos of clouds, thought about life and the world where we normally live.  Being near the water is one of the most relaxing experiences I can recall and this vacation is no exception.  Watching, hearing and feeling the water calms the soul.

Clay commented that he was glad to have a day off from being retired…

After our day resting, we opened a bottle of wine and relaxed some more.  Dinner was at Fiorini’s–a restaurant in Urio.  Giuseppe is the proprietor and he played the piano while we ate.  It was another good dinner, right on the water.  We watched mallards, mergansers and coots swimming and swallows flying.  Four scuba divers slipped into the water at the plaza next to the restaurant.

Clay was stuck by the century plant next to the car and considered cutting off the thorns on the end of the leaves.  We have enjoyed our time of peace and quiet here on Lake Como, but more adventure awaits…
