Stresa Italy

Ira and I had a chance to get away right before school ended and we chose a little town called Stresa, right outside of Milan.

This is Ira at our hotel.

This is the view from our hotel looking onto the island Isola Bella.

Yummy Italian food!

Having a cappuccino on the island.

On the island looking at the mainland with Ira donning his new scarf.

Isola Bella is one of the tourist attractions of Lake Maggiore. It has a palace which houses magnificent furnishings and tapestries as well as beautiful gardens.

All white peacock - beautiful!

This is a picture taken at the top of  Mount Mottarone.  It's considered to be a "natural Balcony from which there are 360 degrees of panoramic views across the Po Valley to the Alps.
