I began this month by walking to the Metrolink tram station in the rain. I can assure you that it is not quite as much fun as having lunch alongside Lake Como in the sunshine.

I'll take your word. I know that it's not so funny walking in the rain. They have announced thunderstorm during the night, that is perfectly fine for me, because I sleep during the night.

@Asylum I could even appreciate a little rain every night, so I do not need to go out and water the garden.

That takes me back Anna. I went to Bellagio with my parents when I was a teenager, though I can't remember too much about it. I've not done a lot today, just a bit of gardening.

The cousin of my husband lived on the hills near Bellagio. We used to spend some days in summer in her house and we went every morning to Bellagio for breakfast.

The lake of Como is among the 38 deeper lakes in the world. This is why it's so rich in color.

It'a Canada Day- a national holiday here so many will be enjoying the parks and all the functions provided. We are going to a nice restaurant to celebrate later so am looking forward to that- love the looks of your town- Belllagio is a name also of one of the new huge hotels in Las Vegas! I haven't stayed there but it has an Italian flare and quite beautiful.

The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas was named from this village, I have visited the Hotel. Happy Canada Day to you.

@LadyDuck I see! I was chatting a while ago with a friend who is currently visiting Italy. She posted so many beautiful photos of the places she visited there. She mentioned that the weather is so hot there, so much hotter than we have here.

The village is very small, I like to go visit several times a year, but I would not live there. There are too many tourists in season.

@CookieMonster46 Yes, it is a tourist attraction, if you consider that not far from this place there are the Villas of George Clooney and the one of Madonna, you can imagine how many curious tourists come every year.

The only Bellagio I've been to is the hotel in Las Vegas, NV. I'm pretty sure it can't hold a candle to the one you visited.

I have also visited the hotel in Las Vegas, that was inspired by this village, but has nothing to do with the real thing.

@blitzfrick Many hotels in Las Vegas have fabulous shows, like the Pirate fight at the Mirage, the fake erupting volcano and the speaking statues at the Caesar Palace.

@LadyDuck Exactly! But the NV hotel has that fabulous fountain show. That's all I remember about it, actually.
