Sister Week - Night 4

NIGHT 4 - LUGANO CITY CENTER

Every weekend during the summer, Lugano has free, fun stuff going on in the center.  We decided to take advantage, and ask our friends to come along.

We started with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Bottega del Vino.  They have a menu that changes daily, and consists of only five things.  But they are the best five things you'll ever want to eat.



After dinner, we walked around and had a look at our choices for entertainment.  The first included a silent movie.  The one cool thing was that the accompanying music was played by an actual orchestra, but we still passed.  



Next up was a very strange skit without sound.  No talking.  We passed on this one too... right about the time when one of the actors used ketchup for lipstick.  


Our last shot was a comedian.  The crowd was huge, and was responding with roaring laughter, but since it was in Italian, we could only understand the basics.  At this point, we just decided to go home.  


One little problem... there was construction around our bus stop that trapped the ticket machine.  And we needed a ticket.  In Switzerland, this is probably considered a major crime, but we didn't have a choice.  Ryan captured the offense.  









I just realized this sister post didn't have a sister picture!  Here we are... feeling victorious on our bus ride home.

  2. Thanks Alexis! I love the positive feedback... Gandria was a perfect night, the cheesecake was amazing, and bangs are here to stay. All good things! I was so happy to see pictures of the nursery... it's beautiful. Quiet and modern and rustic all at the same time. It seems like a perfect place for a baby.
