6,7,8,9 & 10th Gelato: stracciatella, caffe, bacio, cioccoiato bianco, & liquirizia: white chocolate, coffee, chocolate hazelnut combination & licorice.(We bought 1 kilo of gelato and had to choose 5 flavors, it was hard to choose but so fun!)

So these are all of the gelato's that I have had so far and loving evey minute of eating them.

Cristina and Gianmarco are on vacation for their anniversary, so the kids and I are in Bergamo spending time with the grandparents. I have been spending the day with the kids and then staying the night at the apartment. Cristina's sister, Mara, and brother in law, Massimo, have taken me out to dinner a couple of nights.

On Sunday, Mara, Massimo and I went to Lago dei Lecco. The landscape was to die for. On a map, the lakes look like a wishbone; Lecco is on the right and Como is on the left. (Lake Como is where George Clooney has a villa)

And a friend, Lia, took me to the upper city of Bergamo on Monday. It was beautiful. And then the kids, grandparents and I went to the zoo. I forgot how much I love going to the zoo!

I went to Milan on Tuesday. Toured the Duomo and walked around the city center. I did the audio tour guide of the Duomo and learned a lot of great facts.

On Saturday, we are going to a birthday party for Massimo. It should be a lot of fun. Then we will head back to Padova Sunday but not before stopping at the beach.

So here are some pictures from my travels of this week.
