The lake is wedged between two of the seven mountains that surround the city. I am taking the bus for 10 minutes, I walk another four, and then the only thing I can hear is the wind in the trees, and the sea gulls on the water. Sometimes I come with friends, more often, I come alone, I feel very much at home here by the lake, the mountains protect me, and if it is warm enough, I can go for a swim.
