Thursday: Genova

We met up with American friend Rachel Stowe-Scarci Thursday afternoon and she showed us around the port town of Genoa before heading back to her home in Nizza Monferrato.


me and rach!

Christopher Columbus' house.

the man himself. or maybe just a statue of him.
that evening in Nizza, rach and her husband Giuliano took us to a sweet wine bar that serves excellent food. we tried what the french call "steak-tartare" which is raw beef, the italian bagna couda-finely chopped anchovies, garlic and oil, which was out of this world. we had a great time hanging out with our friends and trying new foods as well as a fabulous red wine, grappa, and a spiced wine.
