European vacation

It feels like I should be starring in some sort of madcap comedy. Our plane was delayed by an hour and a half, we (well, really it was I) left our camera on the plane when we landed, our luggage was lost, and the rental car company that had reserved a car for us didn't have a car, and sent us elsewhere. Oh, and we didn't have the address for the place we're supposed to be staying...

It sounds like an enormous hassle - especially when traveling with a 4 year old... But it really wasn't that bad (and Jemma was a trooper through it all). It worked out in the end - we got the camera back, found the luggage and got another car - and made our way to one of the most beautiful places on earth.

For the next week I'll be eating ridiculously good food, trying to remember how to speak Italian, and frolicking on Lake Como. The weather forecast doesn't look good - thunderstorms predicted for every day we're here - but at this point I don't even care. It's marvelous to be here. (And today is magnificent.)
