We are in Angera with a room that features a terrace where you can see the lake.....if you hold your head at a certain angle, but it really is nice, nonetheless.
I'd love to share some photos with you, but our hotel seems to be without internet, and the hotel proprietor made a deal with a local restaurant so that I could get online to check in with the kids.
So, this post will have to be very brief, but I hope to catch up on the day's happenings when I finally have the resources to do so, because the stop that we had at Bergamo was AWESOME!
Apparently there is some sort of open house involving the churches in the old town.
And, the open house only takes place on Friday and Sunday. So, how fortunate for us to be able to have been there on this day!
Did we ever feel lucky!! So, I'm going to post some photos, and, hopefully, I'll have a chance to actually write more sometime in the near future.
Oh, and by the way......Pope John the XXIII was born in Bergamo, so keep that in mind when viewing the photos.
Enjoy!

Banners hanging in the street
Frescoes on nearly every street corner
