Gloria and her dog Willie as we left Arenzano.

Sunday Gloria proposed we drive south to Genoa, largest Italian seaport, and Arenzano, which was where her maternal grandparents lived, so she visited often during her school vacations. It was a spectacular day, and the world was in agreement, as we saw many families in the squares and on beaches-some were even in the water. On our way down-about 1:30, we stopped into the very small and old town of Campo Ligure, famous for making filigreed jewelry. It was very sleepy with little activity. There was only one table of men in the square. Our lunch was a very tasty foccacio typical of the town followed by gellato! We walked around and enjoyed the lovely day, which Gloria said is unusual for here. It sounds like the weather is unseaonably warm in many places this fall!
