Lunch in Genoa

Glenn and I had a brief stop for lunch in Genoa during our road trip through the Alps. Genoa was the first Italian city I’d visited and it made an impression that each subsequent city has reinforced. The drivers are crazy, but the city centre is lovely. My other abiding memory of Genoa was my […]

Photo of the Week: Rome
