Boat didn’t arrive today as expected. Blurg! Lots of waiting around. Dane entertained himself by diving and doing flips off a stonewall into lake. I had pizza at the waterfront with the Tucker and Jack’s parents. Chris and Marian prepared us another homemade dinner of shrimp in cream sauce pasta. We sat outside under a pergola covered with grape vines. After dinner we took a drive up the hill to the tiny village of Carona. It was dusk and we meandered through the narrow cobble stone alleyways. We then drove to Lugano in search of gelato and found a large festival in full swing at the city center. We walked around and listened to a classical pianist playing outside in the courtyard and watched an old silent movie being accompanied by a small four-piece chamber group. We strolled with our gelatos along the lake. The weather was perfect and the full moon reflected on the water - extremely festive and memorable.
