Today we walked around the city center of Genoa where there are a lot of little narrow streets called 'viccoli' filled with little shops and restaurants. We also walked around the old port that was the main port back in the day. Jaclyn's cousins, Masamiliano, Paolo, and Franceso, were kind enough to let us use one of their parents cars. I was the lucky one who got to drive it. Needless to say, I was a little nervous when I first put the key in the Toyota... but it ended up working out okay. Minus the fact that people drive like maniacs at high speeds and most of the TWO way streets are hardly wide enough to fit one car. Day one in car however was a success and there were no accidents today - knock on wood. The hardest part is driving up the steep hill to where we park for out flat - if there is a car coming the other way, pretty much ".. uh no good." This is me in the car:
Although it has been somewhat hard to communicate, I did add Max as a bbm contact today to keep in touch while he is at work. In order to figure out his pin I had to type 'miopin' on his phone and for some reason I found that hilarious. It's really great to be with natives here because they know everyone and we haven't spent one euro yet!
Friday we go to Cannes, France for the weekend and even though the film festival will not be going on, the beaches are supposed to be gorgeous.
Ciao for now!
