italy swim tour now in full swing

I am now in Orta San Giulio in northern Italy, about an hour's drive from Milan. We are mid way in our week-long swimming tour of this enchanting place and it is going ... well ... swimmingly. All nine of us swam to San Giuilio Island today, had a great guided tour and lunch, then swam back. Fantastic! Over the next few days we go to some other close by lakes - Mergozzo and Maggiore - to do more of the same. If you want to check out some great pictures and videos, go to markotter2015.tumblr.com
