We decided to save the visit to the town and it's castle for a later date and headed along the lake side road to Anguillara, presumably named after the eels that support a local fishery, and where we stopped for a walk and gelatos. On our first attempt to leave this village we chose the wrong road and found found our selves travelling at slow pace behind locals who were walking to the cemetery following a funeral service. A U turn and some fancy maneuvering brought us back to the lake shore drive and we headed home.
Alena, the daughter of the owner of the appartment we are renting, had kindly rounded up a flat screen TV with HDMI ports for our stay, to which I have been alble to connect my Ipad and stream programs from the internet. Thus, we have been able to spend the short interval between a late Italian dinner and an early Canadian bedtime watching Italian movies with English subtitles on Netflix and the Inspector Deluca series, also in Italian, on the BBC. This morning we learn that Canada will spared another referendum on Quebec sovereignty. For my delayed viewing pleasure, I will be programming our cable box at home to record the Masters so that I can watch it on the Sling Box as all the sports channels here are devoted to soccer.
