The only thing I can add is that in the past years the city has changed a lot, for the better: it is becoming a nicer place to spend time outdoors.

I agree with you about the orange slices and the odd shaped plates - not very Italian-looking at all and seems typical of a touristy area where they often do off things. But you certainly can't complain about the view! xxHotly Spicedhttp://hotlyspiced.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675374703381795533.post-45997389667098342282014-02-18T12:47:19.283+01:002014-02-18T12:47:19.283+01:00wow, you brought back memories; met my family in C...wow, you brought back memories; met my family in Como one year; one of my dad's best friends Piero, had a house there and lived in Milan; I remember taking the boat with their daughter across the lake and seeing the Alps, and also the meal his wife served us by grilling the meat brochettes in their fireplace!
