Villa D'Este, Cernobbio, Italy

Light rain today. Poor Hazel. They didn t know (appostrophe issue on Italian Keyboard) that is was good luck so we let them in on that Americanism. Should have asked about old, new borrowed and blue...

We went to the wedding and it was marvelous. The grounds were gorgeous and the proceedings were great too. The Scotsmen were all in their Kilts and they sang songs. Hazel's sister sang a beautiful song in Gaelic. The bagpipper was an Italian who did Rod Stewert's wedding.

There were fireworks at the cutting of the cake and the food was amazing. Here are the courses.

Shrimp and Scallops
Risotto
Veal and Beef Filets
Chocolate Mousse and Pistachio Ice Cream
Italion Wedding Cake
Espresso

I have a feeling this is the best Italian food I am gonna get on this trip! Herman bought some very good cigars for the men and so we smoked outside and acted like men. I met a lot of new friends and good people at the wedding. I also got to see some old friends too.
