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.

Will there be any coverage of the games? Scores? Statistics? Or is that a secret? Sorry wrong Board. Also who are they playing?

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.
