An afternoon in Genoa

Jun 22, 2005 13:15

Happy Wednesday!

We were able to leave the office at a reasonable time and go walk around in Genoa for a while before the dinner. We found out the luggage arrived (oh bliss and joy!) which immediately had me in a good mood.

I was able to do a little tourism . . . not much sadly, most of what I see is ---

Clearly you are having far too much fun to call this "work"... lol.

Nice pics, and thanks for taking us along for the trip with you.

Well, we are trying to sort out all the pieces for this project, and visiting the facilities is part of it!

Plus the Italians have been great about insisting we see something of the city!

Thank you very much for your encouraging words. I am really glad you are enjoying the photos!

Ooo, lucky you! Once again, thanks for taking us along on your journey. I lovedlovedLOVED visiting Italy, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of these pics. And like the poster above who mentioned Bologna, yes, the arches reminded me of Bologna and its covered walkways and arches as well. :-)

Thanks a lot for your kind comment!

I'm really glad you're enjoying the look at this interesting city!

We've been invited to Cinque Terre this weekend, so I am really looking forward to seeing something else of Italy.

If we get the project you will see lots of Italy:-)))

Wow the grand arcades are pretty impressive.

I actually hate Italy, it's
too dangerous a rival as far as historical
cities, lovely language, and great food are concerned =)

The poosh on the table is quite amazing (even i'm doubting if it's not one more fashionnable purse, you never know with the italians =) I don't think that would be tolerated here. In the other hand, a panel stating "Dogs are not allowed on tables" would be just excellent !

Genoa is really interesting and there are lovely parts to this city.

Italy is so different to France--in my opinion I cannot compare them. But you are right, there's a lot going on in both locales as far as "historical cities, lovely language, and great food are concerned =) "

Well, if we win the project, the next thing they want me to do is work with other Euro-countries. The Italians had a meeting with officials from La Villette, so there might be some cooperation with France!

But the Italians have made me swear I will learn Italian if we win the project--so another benefit!

The dog (and it was _really_ a dog) was just great--lying there panting in the heat and a waiter bringing beverages for the woman and the dog!

Thanks for your nice comment, and have a good Thursday!
