One of my joys is travel....

 ITALY!

May 4-11, 2011

Lago Maggiore

One week = the trip of a lifetime!

Find Your Muse, A week of creative expression in Northern Italy


 

Here is a blurb from Holly, the travel agent who arranged all the details. She has connections:

We'll spend all seven nights at the same hotel -- you unpack once. The property is so beautiful and charming and it sits right on the lake. This is the village where my husband, Luigi, grew up so we are very familiar with the area. 

Lago Maggiore is about 40 miles long; we'll take a boat ride out to one of the large islands, Isola Bella: gorgeous terraced gardens, white peacocks roaming around, and a beautiful palazzo that you can tour.

We'll motorcoach to Lake Orta, west of Lake Maggiore. It's a little jewel just eight miles long and less than two miles wide. It has a tiny island, home to an ancient basilica and a more modern convent. Also, the village surrounding it is so much fun to explore, and walk around.

Another day we take a boat ride up Lake Maggiore to the town of Cannobio where there is a fabulous outdoor market: every kind of food imaginable plus shoes, clothing, wonderful leather bags, linens, etc. The town itself is beautiful and right on the lake too.

We also will take a boat ride up the Lake to the town of Ascona, Switzerland -- another charming place with a beautiful promenade on the lake.One day we'll ferry across the lake and then motorcoach up into the mountains for lunch at an old farmhouse with spectacular views!


 A blurb from Kelly: WOW! I am excited!

May love and joy come to you in the new year.
Actually, they are already there for you, right here, right now. May you open up and find them.
 
joyfully,
xx kelly


parting shot...

Have another cookie.

Eat, drink and be merry; for tomorrow, we diet.
