A day at the lake

At the reccomendation of Let's Go and the guy at our hotel's reception, we took a short bus ride to Sirmione. The town was hopping with tourists and wealthy Italians out for a hot Saturday. There's really no beach to speak of, but we found ourselves a large rock and set up camp. We had our tiny BBQ that we quickly set to work. It cooked us delicous corn on the cob and hot dogs. We were the envy of our area. The boys went for a swim in the freezing water while I embraced the Italian bathing style and went topless. Directly in front of us was a couple who was far too friendly for a public place. That provided us with a lot of giggling.
Now we're back at the Euromotel. We went to the grocery store and bought soup to warm up in the microwave that the morning hotel reception man told us we could use. However, the evening man isn't as friendly and has not only refused us the use of the microwave, but (we think) has pretended to call someone to ask if we can use the private one and they said no. He's also making a lot of jokes about how he can't understand our funny English. We've decided that he doesn't like young travelers like ourselves who come into his hotel, use his free shampoo samples, do our laundry in his sink, and ask to use his microwave. Or maybe he hates Americans. Whichever, the boys have gone off on a McDonald's finding mission. I've put in an order for a large fry should they find one. It not, its a night of random pieces of food that we've collected.
Tomorrow we take a train to Florence where we will probably not have free internet as I have here!
