Back in May when I had arrived in the town of Varenna on Lake Como, the first two days there were rainy and chilly. But, that didn't stop our group from touring the sights. One of those sights was Villa Cipressi with its terraced garden. The villa itself was not open because of the weather so, we toured the gardens, umbrellas in hand.
The gardens are beautifully terraced on the hillside and dotted with grand staircases and wonderful statues.
There I am finding a dry spot to take it all in.
Later that day, our little group headed out for dinner, each of us holding an umbrella to stay dry. We thought it made an amusing scene so Dave posed us by the lake and took the shot.
When you are traveling, sometimes you have to deal with inclement weather and still enjoy the experience.

An exquisitely beautiful place.
I remember visiting Florence in April when the wind was howling and it was cold, cold, cold. We cut our visit short and took a train to San Remo where the sun was shining and we were warm for the first time in weeks!
