They were just about to visit us in Australia, when I let them know that...we would be in Italy. So, Wendi, Dan, Ben and Arthur visited us here, instead. They stayed in a villa in Angera with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Among other things, we visited Rocca Borromeo -- the ancient castle of the Borromeo nobility -- and the three isles on Lago Maggiore -- Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola Superiore di Pescatore, where we had a wonderful meal of fish -- carpaccio, grilled and marinated. Easily one of the best meals I've had since coming to Italy.
Rocca Borromeo has an extraordinary doll collection which Wendi and I were much more interested in than was Abby.
Isola Madre is special for its plants. I'm figuring out the best way to post those for maximum effect.
