Thank you,Ted.
I have a very different adventure of my own to tell of Genoa, but no less pleasant than yours. Just different.
Wonderful photos, comments--  you saw so much more of genoa than we did- we were on our way to the Cinque Terre, and we allowed that to cloud our vision and focus our actions. Plus, I left my flight bag on the train.
Attempting to close a flight plan with the tower at the Genoa airport when we were an event so unusual that no one knew how to deal with us--

We have some images in common.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
