Buongiorno, Italia!

We’re off to Italy by way of Germany to celebrate our 40 years together and tour the Italian Riviera. With a base in Genoa, we’ll explore stretches of both the Riviera Di Ponente west of the city to the French border and the Riviera Di Levante east to Cinque Terre and the Bay of Poets on the border between Liguria and Tuscany.

We’ll stay at the Hotel Colombo near Porto Antico in old town Genoa and also explore the many ristorantes and trattorias available in this part of Italy. Toward the end of our stay, we’ll visit our cousins who live in the nearby hill country in the village of Isolona, where my grandmother lived before coming to America. Che fico!
