Snow...in April?

Had a pretty fun night, hung out with some people from the hostel had some wine and played cards. 

Woke up this morning and there was snow on all the mountains around the lake...I guess it snowed over night. I believe it, it was so cold out last night, well cold for Italy. 

It actually didn't end up raining today, like it said it was going to. But it's still cloudy and a little foggy so we can't quite see much around the lake. Today we ventured out into the town, walked the water front, stopped at a cafe and had hot chocolate to same us up, because it is not warm out today, only around 6 degrees. 

After this we wondered some more then found a place to have lunch, once we were done eating this older couple leaned over to our table and asked us where we were from, we got chatting with them for a while about everything, traveling and what not. They asked us if we wanted to go grab a coffee since we were done eating. Kristy got up to pay when the older women jean did and came back because the waiter was going to get the check...or so we thought...we didn't get our check so we asked the waitress and she pointed to jean and Peter the couple and they piped up and said lunch is on us! They ended up paying for our lunch! How incredibly nice of them! We did not expect that at all. We headed out to get coffee after this and we offered to pay for the coffee to treat them since they bought out lunch, but they refused and paided for our coffee too! Then proceeded to tell us if we were ever in NYC that we could stay at their place! They were probably the most kind and interesting people we've met. We shared so many stories and and a great time getting to know them. We got her email just incase as she said we ever find ourselves in New York we could stay with them. They were he cutest couple I've ever seen, they were still so in love and you could tell. She would gaze at him and smile when ever he talked and vice versa. She was so cute she called her husband the judge because he used to be a judge, and as it turns out he studied history! I would say they were probably in their late 60's and jean went back to school after she retired so she could learn Italian because she loves Italy so much! How incredible is that! Kudos to her. They have been traveling their whole life, and go somewhere every year. They love lake como so much that they have been coming here for the last six years. I hope one day I have that kind of money to be able to travel all my life. They were such an inspiration, I want to pick his brain because he was a uni professor and history major. 

Such a great day, I can honestly say I will be sad to not see them again.
