La Rocca

The history of La Rocca dates back thousands of years. It has been the site of a fortress that was built and rebuilt several times, but before that there was evidence of various ceremonies that took place here a few thousand years BC!

The fortress was in ruin and not much to see, but the views were spectacular. Lago di Garda is a huge lake. The cove that Frank and Adrie's terrace overlooks seems like it could be a lake of its own. The mountains in the background just make it more beautiful.

It was fairly clear so we could see across the lake. We plan to take a drive around the lake tomorrow. This should take most of the day. From this view you could understand just how large the lake is.

Along the edge of the cliff you could see farm land below. There were olive groves and rows of grapes, which are the main crops of the area.

We then went to a Wednesday market. The girls were spoiled by Uncle Frank and came home with some special T-shirts! It's Canada Day today, but here they are wearing Italia shirts! World citizens, right?!
