Old Books - Isola Bella

One of the treats when we were on Isola Bella was looking at the library - amazing antique books - and how rich they were to have so many books. Since my camera battery had died, I was only able to take pictures with my i-phone. So disappointing as there were so many treasures to see.

Baveno Memories

There were so many adorable little alleyways, side streets and lanes in Baveno. This is just one of many.

Baveno, Italy

Don't you just wonder where that little walkway leads?

Loneliness

“Separation

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.”
― W.S. Merwin

“How we need another soul to cling to.”

― Sylvia Plath

A Street in Baveno

One of the treats each day was to wander up and down the small side streets woven all through the village of Baveno. This is a good example of the streets. I loved the mosaic stonework of the streets.

The view from the pool

Love the village nestled in the mountains fronted by the two islands

Gardenias on the fence - so fragrant!
