The last stop of our Italian travels (for a little while). This town is just on the other side of Switzerland (Lugano). We likely did not see it at its best (winter) but the town was still beautiful. Across the lake you could see snow capped mountain while temperatures were crisp, but relatively mild. You can tell that this town thrives from Spring through Fall.Unfortunately we had no Clooney sightings, 
but did experience a very important Italian word/tradition during our time in Como - saldi. Every January and June/July the retail stores change seasonal merchandise and offer some pretty stellar sales. We first learned about the Saldi (sales) in Milano, when we asked a local saleswoman when they happened. Looking back, our train on Saturday from Firenze to Milano was packed. Chances are people were headed to the fashion capital to take advantage of these discounts (20-80%).
