Finishing Lago di Garda pictures

The weather here in Munich has been astounding for the past couple weeks - 75 and sunny. Wonderful. So, I have not sat down inside to blog, nor found a wireless spot to do it outside. And I'm getting behind. Today (Sunday the 29th) it's raining, so I'll finish up the pictures from the trip to Lago di Garda, these are from the last 2 days of that weekend trip almost a month ago.

This was a mountain bike trail. It was a bit rainy, this is very steep and slippery. Logan thinks it was an old Roman road.

I walked the lakeside trail on Monday , it was a beautiful cloudy day. This is a few kilometers south of Malcesine.

One evening we drove around the top of the lake to Limone, a town on the other side.

We stopped at a couple of places on the way out. One stop was at Cascata Varone, a natural waterfall in the cliff it has carved in the limestone. It’s unusual to see a falls in this way; mostly they spill over a cliff into the lake below, or you see the dry canyons like in Utah. Here, you walk up a trail into the hill, and there are a couple places carved in where you’re in the canyon, getting wet. it was a very worthwhile side trip, go if you're in the area. The pics aren’t so good, it is hard to get enough in to really be able to understand what you’re looking at, if you haven’t been there.

So, I’ll just put up some pictures of Arco, and the fortress there. This town is at the north of the lake, a few kilometers inland.

Walking up to the fort, through a bit of the town.

And it's a beautiful sunny day again, Monday so my recent trip to the south of France will have to wait. gods, it was gorgeous. And the food! I wanna live there!
