(not necessarily in that order)
This was our first completely unscheduled day since we arrived last Wednesday.
We enjoyed a slow morning, then spent a good part of the afternoon walking around downtown Lugano admiring the Christmas decorations.
The late afternoon and late into the evening were spent with our dear friends, the Lo Menzo’s, where a quick coffee turned into a spontaneous dinner.
I’ll hopefully have time to sort through my photos tomorrow. Now it’s time for bed.
Today Ramesha and I spent time together in Lugano Centro, mostly under i Portici — the arcaded walkways filled with an amazing variety of shops and restaurants.
Our favorite spot for cappuccino is Mauri Concept. They also have fun signs.
Speaking of signs, we got a kick out of the message on the edge of my caffè macchiatto (Ramesha’s cup was blank).
We spent the afternoon getting started on packing for our return home, then went out for dinner.
The pizza was delicious, but I was a bit surprised by the bathroom. I mean, I’ve never seen a see-through toilet seat cover before — covered with rose buds no less! 😂
Although the weather in Lugano Centro was cold and rainy as we ran errands this afternoon, we had some thoroughly enjoyable encounters with a number of delightful people. And that always makes my day.
