We managed to cram as much as humanly possible into three days though. I know it's already on your list, but the Vatican was breath-taking, even for a non-Catholic like me. And the temple in the Jewish ghetto was equally, though differently, gorgeous. Also, you should eat gelato. A lot of gelato.Tobi Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568662522495853235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531324919089791378.post-69454923817333484142012-04-10T20:12:05.868-07:002012-04-10T20:12:05.868-07:00Bellagio on Lake Como.
