Como





Como is a beautiful town on the shores of Lake Como, in Lombardia, northern Italy. The old town nudges right up against the lake, and the newer suburbs spread out through the valley. The lake itself is beautiful. It is narrow and stretches a long way north towards the Swiss border. You can see the alps from the lake. Small villages line the shores at the foot of large hills, and they are too picturesque for words. In autumn it was pretty quiet, as most of the tourists are there in summer. But this was the best time to be there. And the lake, good food, wine and coffee would be enough to make it a fantastic visit anytime. I wonder if they have a university I can teach at for a semester?
