Carnivale at Lake Garda

6 Mar

I thought that we could use some fresh air, so the family headed out to Lake Garda today for fun, sun, and pizza for Carnivale. I’m always amazed at the spectacular views in Italy, which most people take for granted.  The most amazing view of all?  The people.  The rich and well dressed come out in hoards to Lake Garda for a stroll along its boardwalks.  The town of Salo is packed full of Prada, Gucci, Armani and more.  But who needs to window shop while you have live models walking around?

This weekend is Carnivale, which is kind of like the European Halloween, only less fun.  The kids dress up in costumes then throw an abundance of confetti around.  That’s pretty much it (as far as I can see).  I must admit that the kiddies looked very cute all dressed up in their gear (especially a baby girl in a full Princess Leia costume avec hair buns).

The air was clean, the sky was blue, the ducks were quacking, the baby was laughing.  It was a good day had by all.
