And there was also Italy

We also enjoyed a week in Fiemelatte, Italy. Here's the lovely view of Lake Como from the veranda there:

And on a day of increased bravery (after being down and out a few days with hand, foot and mouth disease acquired in the nursery at the conference in Switzerland) Lukas played in these cold fountains (he prefers hot baths, even on hot hot days). He also went up the stairs and down the slide at the playground all by himself!
