Thinking about Lugano

Photo by Marco Bisogno

I didn’t take this photo but it’s a great view of Lake Lugano and Monte Brè (which is to the left), with more mountains marching into the distance.

The yellow rectangle not too far above the water line is (approximately) where we stayed for a month.

Amazing how long ago it feels already.

Today felt like our first real visit to Lugano itself.

We parked at our usual autosilo (parking garage); made a stop at the bank; and walked to a pizzeria near the lake. There we had our first real pizzas (le prime pizze!) of this trip and they were delicious.

Then we walked down Via Nassa and along the lake to Parco Ciani, where we met up with Ramesha’s sister, Manu. We got gelato, then went for a walk along the lake. An altogether lovely afternoon in centro Lugano.
