Italia!

As promised, here are some envy-inducing pictures Ryan took while in Italy on a business trip. The town he visited, Colico, is located northwest of Milan on the beautiful Lake Como. Cue jealousy!

The Alps!

Not a bad place for a meeting....

Lake Como

Unfortunately, he didn't have much time for sightseeing, so a lot of these were taken early one morning before he went to work. He actually had bad weather for most of the week he was there and only this one day of blue sky.

Lake Como + Alps 

Espagueti com Frutos do Mar (Spaghetti with Seafood)

Fancy Tiramisu

The food was delicious, as one would expect from a trip to Northern Italy. Pictured above is dinner from the hotel's restaurant, Restaurante Risi. Since he was right on the lake, they ate seafood and fish with every meal.  He now refuses all tiramisu that doesn't have a chocolate swan drawn on top.
