Welcome to Litsy!

Views from Mottarone with views of the Alps, Lago Maggiore, and surrounding areas. Two cable cars and a chair life to get these views. The photos in travel books do not do the area justice.... nor do my photos, but they help me relive the experience. These are snow capped mountains in June! It is the Alps, after all.

Read the book a few months ago to prepare for this trip, my friend‘s wedding. Isola Bella is an amazing island, the castle, gardens, and statuary are just gorgeous. I have taken nearly 1,000 photos in 1 day!

19/52 - 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 - Instead of stars, I gave this book 5 glasses of red wine! I am terribly excited about being in Italy on my birthday and this book provided me with a great overview of the lake area and Milan, both areas I will be exploring on this European adventure. I‘m a fan of his travel books and he never disappoints.

Since I‘m not able to sleep and lately I haven‘t had much time to read because of work, I‘m reading now.

Squeezing in a little more reading before I head off to work. Reading about bakeries in Milan while eating my breakfast. I would ❤️❤️❤️ to be eating an Italian breakfast this morning.

I am not sure why Rick only gives The Last Supper 2 red triangles instead of 3, but this is my reason for spending time in Milan this June!! There are a limited number of Da Vinci‘s and since I am going to be just 1 hour by train away from a Da Vinci fresco, I must see it.

Maps are an important part of any travel guide...,this map shows everything I am interested in seeing.

I enjoy every Rick Steve‘s book I have read and the follow up trips have been amazing, too!

Seeing the last supper will be the highlight of my trip to Milan, after seeing my friends wedding- of course 😀😀😀😀😀
