Genoa


Today I had a chance to explore Genoa a bit. The city is massive and one could spend a week here and not see it all. As we traveled much of Greece and the east coast of Italy, I have gotten accustomed to the smaller towns based around fishing or the coast. Today, was a great reminder of the culture and history that Italy possess. It's also great to be out of the tourist season and just see Italians live their normal lives, such as Christmas shopping. The Christmas hype doesn't seem near as big as it is in the States, but there are constant reminders sprinkled in all the stores. It was a great day to enjoy some real Italian pizza, coffee, and watch some great street performers.

  2. It's great to visit these European cities outside the tourist season. You have some nice photos and I especially like the 'Jackson' found at the bottom of you blog. Nicely done.
