Genova

After we visited Rome we took a train to Genova, it was a fairly long ride, I'm thinking something like 4-5 hours. But it was a pretty scenic ride along the coast. We only spent an afternoon through the next morning in Genova but it was just long enough. Each city we visited had such a unique feeling to it. Genova is a port town. They have some streets in the downtown area which they call "Carrugi" that are very narrow alleyways--pretty cool to walk through, but a little scary too. We didn't get any pictures of those, I think we were more concerned with finding our way and not going down the wrong one! Genova is known for their focaccia (bread) and of course, salami. We picked some up to eat for breakfast before we hopped on the next train...to Milan.
