My beautiful Liguria

We have been spending the last three days in Liguria, my home region. I almost forgot how beautiful and unique it is.

The one thing that is not that great continues to be the weather. Strong winds and low temperatures do not make for a pleasant combination. Today we have to add the rain. Still, we have had opportunity to visit friends and family, and it’s been wonderful.

My camera has been resting all the while, so here are just a few pictures I’ve taken, mostly on the way here from Tuscany.

Tomorrow we are heading to Milan for our Friday flight back home. On the way we’ll stop and visit with three other friends, and possibly do some sightseeing, weather permitting. In any event, I will post at least the short pictorial recap of our entire trip, if not an additional post. Glad to have had you tag along for the past seven weeks. Ciao!
