We entered Italy as we started our trip in England... to big smiles and open arms. Our Italian friends, that we met 25 years ago through Joe's work, met us in Rapallo (on the Italian coast east of Genoa) and treated us like royalty. We stayed in their apartment with a view impossible to describe of Portofino and Santa Margherita; I will add some photos as soon as possible. We had a home cooked dinner every evening and toured the area by day.
Our visits included Chaivari, Ne (for a great lunch), Zaogli and Rapallo on Saturday; and then on Sunday we were surprised to visit again Cinque Terre and take the great walk between Monterosso and Vernazza (about 1.5 hours going up about 500-1000 feet and then along the coast with a similar view to Big Sur in California).
Mille grazie to Andrea and Valera Pesaro for their wonderful hospitality. They were a wealth of history and warm times.
