Saturday at Lake Como

The tennis started at 9:00 and they have a great way to ensure everyone gets to play.  Players sign up on a blackboard, four names per line and when a foursome plays one set the next group on the board gets the court.  There are five clay courts and all were filled.  I played three sets and had a great time.  I was one of the younger players and none of the players were a whole lot better than me; so I fit right in.  After lunch, I laid around the pool for awhile.  They even had live music at the pool.  Then went back for some afternoon tennis.  The Bare Buns cafe had shrimp scampi for dinner and I had a piece of pumpkin pie to finish off a wonderful day.  There is a live band (Bitter Sweet) playing at the area bar tonight, but they don't start until 8:00.  I might make it over, but that's nearly my bed time.  Us old men need to get our beauty sleep each night.
