yesterday we stayed at a nice hotel in arona; nice view of the lake, great bed and it even had a wifi. this was a first for me, the wifi was a payed service, but they also offered a list of websites free for everyone to access:
Welcome To Hotel GIARDINO
WEBPOINT Hot Spot Internet Service
Username: Password:
TRENITALIA
TUTTOCITTA’
NAVIGAZIONE LAGO MAGGIORE
AREOPORTI DI MILANO
CNN
ALBERGO GIARDINO
most of these make prefect sense of course – news portals, train schedules, the airport, the hotel website – but i really had to laugh when i discovered novara calcio on the list, the website of the local football club. funny.

hey regine. that would have been great fun to meet in venice. but we decided to go even later this year, sometime in late september. the trip to milan/arona was only a one-day escape to avoid the swiss national holiday bruhaha.
