Winner...

Of the I will do anything to get my face in the newspaper contest...

Goes to this guy. 

Though, I suppose the water was much warmer than the air, or the snow for that matter.

Still waiting to hear if the schools in Genoa will be open tomorrow. Chiavari, no worries, they will be open, much to Anna's delight as she unexpectedly shared lunch with Sarah this afternoon. We had a proper Italian lunch, 2 courses, all eaten while we watched the local news. 

So far, Chiavari is living up to its reputation as the hot spot of Liguria. No snow in town, but all the hills behind my home are white and blanketed in snow. A beautiful sight as long as you don't need to drive in it. According to reports the weather is to turn worse, how much so remains to be seen.
