Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Groups of five in Grenoble
Leftover dinner for breakfast then loaded up the car and drove to Grenoble, our last stop in France before pivoting back to Italy. Are we tired of France? Nope, not even close! Grenoble is situated on two rivers and considered the French “Gateway to the Alps”. There are beautiful views of the snow capped mountains from all over town. The best view is at the top of the Bastille hill, a cable car (Bubble) ride away over the Isére river. Light snack of grilled veg and roasted Saint-Marcellin cheese – a revelation – at the top. Long walk through the old part of the city then a (personal) ride on the ubiquitous Tourist Train. Excellent dinner at an Indian restaurant where the owner regaled us with his dismay on how hard Trump is making it for the rest of the world.
