When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...


Eric posted about our trip to Lugano this past weekend, I think.  I LOVED Lugano - it’s Italy, but in Switzerland (the Italian border is on the other side of the lake from the town, it’s very close to Lake Como), and if you know me you know my feelings about Italian food and culture in general.  Gelato is definitely going to be in heaven, in my book.

Our day hiking in the sunshine on Friday was wonderful, especially in contrast to all the nasty weather we’d been having in Luzern, but my favorite was Friday evening, which officially was the best date night EVER.  I challenge any husband/boyfriend out there to top it for your lady, because it included:

1.  Risotto with fresh porcini mushrooms, with molten chocolate cake for dessert, outside on a beautiful piazza at dusk in perfect weather.



2.  A dancing brass band.



3.  A walk next to a lake in the Alps at sunset.



4.  A live jazz band.



5.  Giant boardgames.



6.  A live symphony orchestra.



7.  Everybody around us speaking Italian and making animated hand motions to go with their conversation, which is always really fun to be around and guess what they’re saying so passionately.

So Eric, well done sweet husband, I’m sure you personally arranged for there to be a music festival the night we were there...
