The largest lake in Italy is a lovely place to be, and though it is very touristy I have not seen or heard any other North Americans here. My boyfriend (Kelly) came to Riva Del Garda for 1 day on a bike trip and fell in love with the lake, Aperol spritzes and the sunshine. He was actually going to move here for a few months last year but good thing he didn’t because we met each other and now we are here on vacation!
It has been hot hot hot (so nice after freezing in Denmark) so a simple skirt and crop top kept me cool. My hair was all greasy from sunscreen but it made for the perfect slicked back pony.
These shoes make every outfit look so much more put together and I can actually walk on cobblestone with them. Saw a few girls teetering on huge heels walking around town yesterday. No desire to fall on my butt, we already stand out enough not speaking Italian or German! Though English seems to be everyone’s 3rd language…oh to be European!
