The next day we went to the Lago di Garda where we planned to visit a very nice little romantic town, called Limone sul Garda, for lunch. Unfortunately, since we visited out of tourist season, all the restaurants were closed. So after walking through the village we moved to Riva del Garda instead and enjoyed our lunch, Italian pizza, there.

Luckily there was a Christmas market in Limone...
Foods for good fortune... Lentils, since they represent coins and swell as they cook, are eaten in Italy at New Years Eve. Since we thought it was a good prospect for 2011 we decided to go along with this tradition. The lentils were accompanied with a great Italian sausage called Cotechino (correct me if I'm wrong), which contained enough fat to get us through the first month of 2011! Hopefully the promises of this meal are going to work out so we can properly weigh the lentils on a newly bought weighing scale next year instead of using this old school method with two wine glasses.
To accompany the lentils and sausage we had this nice magmum of local wine.
Which Karen seemed to like it a lot!
