Genoa

Genoa has been great. We've been staying at Alessandra's mother's apartment on top of a giant hill (good workout). The apartment has a beautiful balcony and clear views of the water. On the main strip below her apartment are some good restaurants and little shops. Yesterday Chloe and I walked through a good portion of Genoa. We were out and about for about five hours before making the hike home, where I took one of my best naps ever. It was glorious. We went out for dinner at the local trattatoria, where we chowed down on some great homestyle cooked food. The atmosphere was lively and the people were nice. Our average eat time when we go out to eat here is about 2.5 hrs. There is NO rush. :)

Beautiful views all around on the balcony:
