Of all the mails I like receiving from readers, follow up mails after their vacations are probably my favorite. And even better ... photos! It's so nice to 'see' who has been writing and visiting Stresa. These photos were sent from Rick and Deirdra, from Maryland, USA. They visited Stresa in mid-October. In spite of a rainy forecast, you can see that they enjoyed some crisp, clear skies. I'm glad they included a couple of photos from the Hotel Bristol, where they stayed, so that any of you who are interested in staying there can see the incredible view you'd be enjoying everyday.
