Genova: We had some great guests in Genova. It was a family of four and I guess Joe and I would describe them as a typical Italian family. We were in Genova on Halloween, which is not a very popular holiday in Italy, but our host family was celebrating it with their friends. So Joe and I went along for the joy ride as the children knocked on doors of neighbors who had no idea what they were doing. It was quite comical.
Cinque Terre(Manarola): We are absolutely in love with Cinque Terre, Italy. You have not experienced Italy unless you have been here. It is a series of 5 little towns set up on cliff sides with the Mediterranean Sea below. WE LOVE CINQUE TERRE, just look at the pictures.
Naples: This has been a great, unexpected stop. We are staying with a family that lives literally 10 feet from the Mediterranean Sea and steps from numerous Roman archaeological sites. They also have a view of Mt.Vesuvius (the volcano that destroyed Pompeii) from there back deck. It was a pleasant surprise. It is a family of three. They have an 18 yr. old son Milo. It has also been a great stop because they do not speak alot of English and we do not speak Italian, needless to say it has been fun. We have had great food, laughs, and hospitality here.
James wants to know which "Joe" is in the pictures- he doesn't remember voting on that one.. :) It looks beautiful! Wish we were there!

Awesome! You made it to Cinque Terra. I hope that you were able to hike the trail that leads to each one. We stayed in Vernazza and also loved it.
ReplyDeleteWhile in Naples go to Pompeii if you have the chance.
Any more gelato?
