St. Giulio

This post refers to the second day in Orta ( small city on Orta lake  )

 I was wearing a different t-shirt .

Even if my platform shoes were very comfortable , I had to buy a pair of flat sandals to be able to safely walk on pebblestones! 

( is what happens when you decide for a very lightweight luggage!!)

Then I was ready for a visit to the tiny island of San Giulio

A world of silence, where there is a monastery , a small restaurant  and

many narrow halleys where you could  see  the   shining water of the lake in the distance.

I was caught by the silent beauty of the island

where many indications invited visitors to be silent in respect of the place 

and the meditation that there took place .

The same day my husband helped a swallow

And finally we had dinner in the open air, at a typical little restaurant with tablecloths of different colours.

It has been  a very  special day.
