A real vacation day

Chiesa dei SS. Fedele e Simone in Vico Morcote

It was just the two of us today, so we took a little excursion on our own to Vico Morcote and Morcote.

These villages are only about thirty minutes from Lugano, but it felt like we were a world away in a magically quiet and peaceful place.

I’ll get my photos organized to share soon. In the meantime, suffice it to say that we both were able to really and truly relax there.

Falling behind

It’s been quite a full week, with photos piling up from Thursday lunch at Graziella’s; Friday’s visit to the cemetery and church in Canobbio; Saturday dinner at Dudo and Karin’s; and finally, a super fun lunch/sing-along with extended family, during which we were treated to the traditional popular music of Ticino, performed by the duo Tacalà.

I’ll be sharing all about that, plus lots of photos, in the near future.

But the top priority right now is being ready to leave early in the morning for the next phase of our trip: Cinque Terre!
