Riccardo and I headded off the trek trail for a few days to see where I come from. My family on my Dad's side came from the region of Liguria and a few days ago we took the train from Piacenza to Varazze. It is a town right on the ocean and we happened to find a B & B right on the beach with windows (second floor) with an incredible view. A young man rents out two rooms that have private bathrooms and we all shared a common room and kitchen. He made us breakfast in the morning and we visited with another couple who only spoke Italian. The young man spoke both English and Italian. They could understand us and were very patient to help us when we struggling.
We stayed here two nights and then we are off to Savona, Vado Ligura and my Great Grandparent's home of San Genesio.
This is the view from our window!
On our walk during the day! They have a walking biking path along an old train route right along the ocean cliffs. It was truly spectacular!
One of two tunnels we went through on the walk:
And of course we had to have a picture of our feet in the Mediterranean Sea (Ligurian Sea)!!!
