Meeting Alberto!

Last weekend we drove to Como, Italy, to visit our wonderful friends, the Fontanas, and meet Alberto! We missed Lucie (who was in Germany for her exchange program), but we managed to have a wonderful time visiting with Alberto, reminiscing about the old days and of course, eating! The cameras were clicking away the entire weekend so I will let the photos tell the story...
