Sounds like a great trip. Lake Como is beautiful as is Bellagio. I believe Lake Como is so polluted that swimming is not allowed

I went swimming in Lake Como in 2007. I asked whether it was ok to swim in the lake, but didn’t understand what the person I asked said. Now I understand why I didn’t see anyone but my family swimming. Oh well, no one got sick and it was very refreshing.

I agree, though Nice is not a great spot these days. Hopefully, they cruise down the coast to Cannes with stops in between. The beaches, and those creatures in partial bikinis decorating them, are awe-inspiring.

It looks to me like the games are against Teams One (based in Paris), Two (south of France), Three (near Lake Maggiore), and Four (Rome). Each has their own specialty - the Paris team loves to score from the FT line, the south of France team prizes the mid-range game, that Lake Maggiore team is filled with bombers, and well that Rome team you'd better keep an eye on the scoresheet and make sure you don't get pencil-f****d.

With the public reveal of the August Europe trip starting lineup I am able to ascertain the answers to a great many questions including the specific location of the 30,000 missing Hillary Clinton emails.
