Italian Alps Over Lake Comoo

Today and yesterday we had our first experiences with Italian drivers. They drive like madmen around the narrow, rough roads with their foot on the accelerator and their hand on the horn. They even honk at you when they meet you on a straight road if you look like you might be considering moving into their lane.

We left Lake Lugano and soon reached Lake Como at Menaggio. It was a fairly nice town and the lake was beautiful. When we pulled into town there was a man standing on the pier, urinating into the lake - in broad daylight in the middle of town.

I was more impressed with Lake Como than with any of the others partly because of nicer weather and partly because you could see the snow-capped Italian Alps to the north. June 10, 1967
