George Clooney made it famous among Americans, but
Lake Como is not a new discovery for Italians. (Clooney's house in Como is on the market for €30 million if you are interested) Justin and I were blown away by the gorgeous
lake and immediately added it to our list of places we would like to retire. From our hotel in
Griante we took a short ferry ride to
Bellagio where we hiked around the entire peninsula before a spectacular sunset. Here are some of my favorite shots from Lake Como:

The last stop on our Italian road trip before Nussloch was in Switzerland at the famous ski town of
Davos, the highest city in western Europe. Driving up the steep, mountain roads to this breathtaking town was very exciting and beautiful. It was a crystal clear day and we could see for miles. This ski and skating town is known for their pure air and houses several clinics for those with lung conditions and is also home to the annual
World Economic Forum meeting. While in
Davos, after indulging in
Raclette, a heavy cheese dish intended to keep one warm, we went on a long, hike with extordinary views of the town and the Alps. Working up a thirst, we also headed to
BierVision, the highest brewery in the world. We loved Davos and will return later this winter to ski! Here are my favorite Davos pics:
