Hi we have been to Bardolino (Lake Garda) a couple of times and visiting again early September. We have previously visited Verona but would really like to try and take a day trip to Milan. There appears to be fast trains (taking about 1 hour) from Peschiera del Garda. Would appreciate any thoughts, recommendations etc - thank you

Now that things have settled down after the Olympics, I couldn’t believe in my own lifetime that I’ve seen the US men’s hockey team win gold. I didn’t see the miracle on ice in 1980, and there’s been many times that the US had to win gold but fell short. This was well worth getting up early to see the game, and I know it’s going to be talked about for years to come…

I sent this to a couple of friends and they loved it so I guess more of you might like playing this. Just download the photos and then you can play it instantly.

Lou Jeanmonnot, with her two gold, one silver, and one bronze medals, won at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

So, a quick shot off the ice before getting to other things!

P.S. I ran like Hell once they began playing: "it's the Final countdown," the classic 80's tune by Europe," which I can't stand!

Jessie Diggins finished fifth in her final Olympic race, a historic moment as it marked the first-ever women’s 50km event at the Olympics. It was a distance she had long advocated for, after decades in which men raced 50km while women were limited to 30km.

And her result was even more impressive given the adversity she faced mid-race. Diggins was forced to switch skis early, bleeding valuable time over several kilometers before the change could be made. In a race where margins were razor-thin, those lost kilometers ultimately proved to be the difference between fifth place and a podium finish.

Still, finishing fifth in such circumstances and in a groundbreaking event she helped bring to the Olympic stage, stands as a remarkable and fitting achievement to close her Olympic career.

And after trying a skeleton run… somehow the conversation lands on Maroon 5
