Man, what a day! I woke up in Lecco, and let me tell ya, it was a wild ride. First off, I’m a combine harvester, right? Not your usual 9-to-5 gig. But today? Today was something else.
So, I roll outta bed, grab my coffee, and head out. The sun’s shining over Lake Como, and I’m thinkin’, “This is gonna be a chill day.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill. I hit the streets, and lemme tell ya, Viale Italia was packed. Like, where are all these people coming from? I swear, it’s like they all decided to take a stroll at the same time.
I’m cruisin’ down Via Cavour, and I see this dude trying to parallel park. He’s all over the place, man. I’m sittin’ there, just waiting, and I’m like, “C’mon, bro! It’s not rocket science!” Finally, he gets it, but not without almost taking out a scooter. Classic Lecco, right?
Then I head over to Piazza XX Settembre. It’s usually a nice spot to chill, but today? Nah. There’s a street performer, and he’s playing the accordion like he’s in a competition or something. I mean, it’s kinda cool, but also, dude, chill. I’m trying to enjoy my gelato here! Speaking of gelato, I got a scoop of pistachio. Best decision ever.
But then, outta nowhere, it starts to rain. Like, heavy rain. I’m talkin’ buckets. I’m sprinting for cover, and I duck into this little café on Via Roma. I’m soaked, and the barista looks at me like I’m a drowned rat. I laugh it off, but inside, I’m like, “Really? This is how my day’s gonna go?”
After the rain, the sun comes back out, and I’m feeling good again. I decide to take a walk along the lake. The view is insane! The mountains, the water, it’s all so beautiful. I’m snapping pics like a tourist. I mean, who wouldn’t? But then, I trip over a rock. Classic me, right? I’m sprawled out on the ground, and this old lady walks by and just chuckles. Thanks, lady. Real supportive.
So, I get up, dust myself off, and keep walking. I pass by the Basilica di San Nicolò, and it’s just as stunning as ever. I’m standing there, taking it all in, when I hear this loud honking. I turn around, and it’s a bunch of kids on bikes, racing down the street. They’re laughing, having the time of their lives. I can’t help but smile.
But then, I see a guy on a scooter zoom past, and he’s not even wearing a helmet. I’m like, “Dude, you’re gonna regret that!” I mean, come on, Lecco’s got some crazy drivers.
As the day winds down, I head back to my combine. I’m exhausted but happy. Lecco’s got this vibe, ya know? It’s chaotic but beautiful. I think about all the stuff that happened today. The rain, the gelato, the crazy drivers. It’s all part of the charm.
I finally park my combine, and I’m just sitting there, reflecting. I love this city, even with all its quirks. It’s like a rollercoaster, and I’m here for the ride. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
