Lago di Garda

Despite my constant complaining this past summer that I was waaaaay to busy at work to do anything fun, we did manage to crawl out of the house every now and then and enjoy the breathtaking beauty that is Italia.

For the long 4th of July weekend, Cynthia booked us a room at the Astoria Park Hotel in the little town of Riva del Garda. And a little weekend getaway was just what the doctor ordered.



We enjoyed lunch next to the hotel pool the moment we arrived at the hotel. The best part was the view... of the topless sunbathers. I was gentlemanly enough not to take any photos of them. Well gentlemanly enough to not post said photos to my blog...


The hot, summer weather did not disappoint. It was sunny and clear the entire weekend. The town was quaint and full of interesting little shops and resaurants.







While enjoying the lakeshore itself, Cyn and took a speedboat out to a beautiful waterfall grotto.








We had a total blast, but alas the weekend proved too short. On the Sunday during checkout, I got a call from WORK!! It seems there was a problem, and they wanted me to come in and take a look at it. At least the base was on the way home.

What a great weekend!
