Italy, part 2: Genova

Genova is where Niki's family lives. It's a sweet little city in northern Italy on the western coast. Genova is the home of focaccia, pesto, and Columbus. The air is pretty much always salty (my hair found this interesting...), and it was hot (but it's summer in Italy, so that's not really surprising).

Niki's family... look at all that pesto.....

This is Mimi... I'm totally in love with him, he's so cute!

My 300th gelato of the trip

My hair seemed to like the salt in it after my swim...
