Above & Left: What a perfect Sunday! We drove to Brunate,
above Como and hiked into a Rifugio for some local fare -
cheese, polenta, pizzocheri, wild pig and wine - enjoyed it
while sitting next to the fire - it was freezing so being by the
fire was heaven.  Then hiked up to the crest with a view of
lake Como behind us and the Swiss Alps further back  - che
bella! Tony loved the experience  - we are so lucky that  he is
just such a great sport and so happy to do things with us that
we love!
Below: A stroll through the grounds of Villa Reale - the Royal Villa of
Monza. Baci even went swimming... 6 Gennaio
