Ciao

We spent almost two weeks on the Italian Riviera, first in Levanto, then Genova and Borghetto Santo Spirito and finally Cassigheno. The first half of the trip we were on our own and the second half we were with Garett's warm family.

Highlights:
Renting a car and by a happy accident getting a sporty, speedy Alfa Romeo
Renting bikes for a day
Spending most of our time at the beach
Eating gelato at least once and sometime twice a day
Daily happy hour with tasty beverages watching the sun drop into the sea
Eating tasty pizza and focaccia
Our teeny two bedroom attic apartment just one house from the beach
Garett meeting a fellow man-of-the-sea, Tore, who took us fishing
Renting a boat, anchoring off Bonassola and swimming in the crisp Mediterranean Sea with my boys
Gobs and gobs of sea glass

These are photos from Levanto.

I've been waiting for these!!!! Cannot even imagine how beautiful it was. Thanks for posting. Favorites: the spider man floaties. Blue face. The color of your drinks and how beautiful you look. And relaxed. Love you, welcome home!

Me too! Looks like another dream vacation. I can't wait to hear about all the details person. I think my favorite is the one of your boys playing in the water. Although it's hard since they are all so beautiful. Miss you. Ben's done with school Friday. Let's try to chat soon!

Your photos look absolutely beautiful. Obviously, my favorite is the sea glass photo, but you really captured Wyatt and his beautiful face very well.
