Lake Garda

Most Americans have heard of Lake Como.  Lake Como is in a region of Italy right along its northern border with Switzerland and Austria.  This area of the Alps is home to several lakes, the largest of which is actually Lake Garda, on the shores of which rested our next destination.  Saying goodbye to Jessah and Cheryl, Kyra and I traveled West:

The area is quite pretty, and really doesn't feel like the rest of Italy.  It's much more Alpine and mountainous.  In fact I heard more German being spoken here than Italian.  Unfortunately it was pissing down rain the whole time we were there.  So while we were there only one night, I didn't get a lot of photos other than the view from my room:

This was our hotel, the Grand Hotel Gardone Riviera.
