Genova

On Wednesday we went to Genova with Jim & Lynda and another girl who was staying with them. Genova is over on the coast and is a major port city. We took this weird Italian elevator-ish thing that goes inside a mountain up to a castle to get a really good view of the city. Then we ate an amazing lunch, with different kinds of pasta including one in a hazelnut sauce that was absolutely wonderful and a type of fish that the area is known for.


After than we took a spontaneous Mediterranean cruise. Okay, not quite cruise. But we did take a really nice boat ride down the coast, which is considered the Italian Riviera, to Portofino and back. We had never heard of Portofino, but apparently it is very famous and very ritzy. It was a great day!The color of the water was amazing!

This is Portofino.The pirates coming to get us! Maybe not, but it was cool to see this ship out on the water!

I like boat rides!
