Lago d'Orta




Today we had to stick close to home for our trip, since Ann had an appointment with the doctor. So, we took a short drive to Lago d'Orta, where we went to the little town of Orta San Guilio. The little town is quaint, and looks out to the picturesque island. There are some great little shops and restaurants in the town. We had a leisurely lunch (the service was intensely slow...) and strolled around. We also went to the Sacro Monte. The views are amazing. John had been here once before, several months ago. It's a very pleasant place to spend part of a day, and it was the first time that we were here as a family.
