"A vacation spot out of season always has a very special magic." (--Max von Sydow)

I'm taking mental vacations today, since I'm stranded in ice here at home.

In my mind, I'll be heading to the Amalfi coast and Capri...

...or maybe, while the white stuff out there is blinding my eyes, I'll just pretend that I'm lounging on Lake Como instead...

...perhaps I'll take a jaunt over to Isola Bella off Lago Maggiore for the afternoon, and climb the terrace steps again...

For dinner, a ride in a Venetian gondola through the canals, with operatic serenades, and sample some prosecco into the wee hours, dancing in the Piazza San Marco...


So, just for a little while, until I open my eyes again, I'll forget the cold,...

...and enjoy my brief reverie...
Join me?
