And man I am not anywhere near ready!
Here is the annual Christmas tree making its debut in Piazza de Ferrari. She arrived this morning and is all ready for her lights and decorations. Ok, the setting is nothing like Rockefeller Center, like, where are the angels and the skating rink? Nevertheless, today Genoa started to feel festive.
Yesterday I had a meeting in Genoa and Sam was kind enough to join me for the ride, today, I paid pack the favor. He had a meeting, and I joined him for the ride. While he sat and made money, I went and spent money. Hey, what is a girl to do? Then we met up, took a stroll through the Centro Storico and then sat at the end of one of the piers in the harbor soaking up the warm sun. After the horrible weather we have had, the sun felt wonderful on my face. Sam and I grabbed a quick lunch and then went home.
If you look again at the photo of the Christmas Tree, behind it is Genoa's opera house, Carlo Felice. It was bombed and basically destroyed during WWII, but the facade survived. The city had it rebuilt and it is even more grand than it ever was before! Take a look for yourself!
A presto!
