The All Fat Diet
Caroline and I got along so well that we decided to travel for a few days together. After taking a boat tour of Venice we headed to Verona for a night. To be honest, we did not see or do much other than walk around and take pictures with the Juliet statue. It is said that if you rub her arm you will have good luck in the love department. Seeing and Carline and I have had no luck lately, we rubbed and rubbed.
The next morning we took a train ride to Lugano. Lugano is in Switzerland but on the coast with Italy so it is actually an Italian speaking city. Looking across the lake in Lugano, you are looking at Italy. It was another beautiful city and so warm I was wearing my flip flops. People everywhere frolicking around as well as people out on their boats. Mountains everywhere. On our way to Lugano we actually passed by Como. I learned George Cloony owns a home here. Anyway, Cinque Terra, Como, and Lugano are all places I want to come back to for a summer vacation. Not only do you have the water but you have sailing, hiking, waterfalls, and all kinds of water activities.
The third day I left for a quick visit to Zurich to meet with a friend of my Aunt Nina’s daughter and then back to the Dunkers for a few days to re-coop.
So here I am, back at my base camp. It is nice to relax, do laundry, go for a run, cook, and eat healthy for a change. My diet has consisted of pastries, pastries with chocolate, gelato, tirimasu, salami, cheese, bread, pasta, chocolate, nuts, olives, pizza, gnocchi, and every other Italian food you can think off. I not only feel like a fat piece of lard but I am starting to look like one.
