I'm just back from teaching on Lake Como, Italy. The day before my peeps arrived, I visited Villa Balbianello

I took the Bellagio Water Limousine Villa tour in this cool hand made wooden boat.

On the way, the boat guy pointed out the other villas on the lake. Above is Richard Branson's Villa. It's for rent, at $120,000 a week, by the way.

I love visiting homes and well, villas, when I travel, and this one was a highlight of the trip.

  1. I think I'm going to need a bib, I am drooling so much! What a great trip! Your students must have savored every moment, and I hope you did, too.

    Can't wait to see your other posts with more pictures and some of your sketch work. You've captured its essence in your photos and made me want to go, too. Fun to travel vicariously through you.
