Think of the Mediterranean and the first thing that usuallly comes to mind is - warm breezes and moderate seas. Normally, that is how it is here in Chiavari. That is until a real storm with a strong low pressure blows in. Then the sea which is normally as calm as tea in a teacup becomes a tempest in a teapot - exactly what happened this weekend! If you were able to catch some of the Olympics yesterday you could see the snow was falling in Torino! The women's super G was cancelled and the 2 man bobsled was raced during a real white out! Here on the Riviera? There was thunder and lightning and the wind was howling! It was raining cats and dogs on and off all day. The water level in the river that runs adjacent to our apartment was rising to an alarming level and we started to really worry that our garage might flood! We went to bed last night and woke to the same fine weather this morning. As the morning worn on the skies did begin to clear. Sam and I had some errands to run and dashed out before the rain could start again. On the way back home we walked along the passagiata and took some photos of the beautiful waves!
Arriverderci!

I love a stormy sea!
Yes, makes me feel a bit homesick for the Atlantic!
Me too!!! I usually drive down to the beach and just watch when I'm at mom's in NH. Miss it here in KS.
