Several of the guide books called Como a big industrial town and not worth the trip. It certainly was bigger than the little villages further north, and if I was staying up there I'm not sure I'd make a special trip to see it, but it did have it's charm. While Conor, Michael and Marie headed back to the house, Julie and I explored the city a bit with Andrea and Tom.

| Italian version of a frappachio called a shakerato. These were enjoyed a cafe in front of the Como Duomo. |
Julie found a cocktail bar called Fresco. It was literally on the wrong side of the tracks, but had pretty amazing drinks. The menu was all custom drinks inspired by different things the owners had done/see while making a tour of Italy. They also brought out these little food plates with cookies, sliders and local cheese. Helped take the sting off an 8 euro cocktail
