Beavis and Butthead Go to Italy to See Lake Garda

Beavis and Butthead went to Italy to see The Lake Which Looks Like a Penis.


Once we get past Beavis and Butthead snickering, the interesting thing about the shape of the lake is the mountains on each side make a natural wind tunnel so windsurfing on the lake is some of the best anywhere.  One thing we notice is sheer cliffs on one side of the lake so that gets some wondering whether that was a natural phenomenon.

Lake Garda comes to light because Cat said she loved it here as a kid and it's like Shangri-La because no-one ages so long as you are here.  Even the villages around the lake don't age since they haven't given themselves over to strips of garish hotels, casinos, or miscellaneous bric a brac to pollute the landscape.


Bardolino is evident on the bottom right shore of the lake and this, I believe, is a picture of  it.



The look is instantly European and anywhere getting so much attention as a vacation destination should evolve into a hideous nightmare of concrete and glass but you see how it looks.  Bardolino seems a place to leave your car and walk wherever you need to go.  The closer to civilization you get, the fewer the cars you will see.

Of course there's a castle
