Lake Garda

Mid-June, we took a trip to Lake Garda, the closest of the three big lakes here in northern Italy. It was really fun- we saw a castle, ate fresh fruit, had ice cream, saw the ruins of a first-century villa... just your normal, every day resort kind of things. Here are some pictures. We are headed back, but to a different part of the lake, in August. Enjoy!
