Romantic Spots Around the World #2: Lake Como

Lake Como or Lago di Como is one of the lake towns located in Northern Italy. One hour away from Milan, Lake Como offers a mesmerizing and serene setting.
This was my first introduction to Italy. I arrived at the airport in Milan and took the train to Lake Como. I had a big suitcase with which I lugged around. I won’t travel around like that today, I’ve learned my lesson. 
Fortunately, a young man sat in my car — a handsome Italian. He had dark wavy hair that was combed back and reached below his ears, sharp cheekbones that defined his face even more and brown eyes behind a pair of fashionable glasses. For a few seconds, he watched with amusement as I fought with my heavy suitcase. Then he offered to help me. When he stood up I was able to see how slim and tall he was — I’d say about 6feet. He easily swung my baggage overhead and made sure it was secure and wouldn’t fall on anyone’s head. I found out he was an astronomer and lived in another town. We had a pleasant conversation till I reached my stop. He helped me take down my luggage and we said good bye, then he continued on to his destination.
Lake Como was a perfect and romantic place to visit. I’d highly recommend it as a first stop in Italy before moving to other places there.
