So internet was really bad in Florence and we didn't know the computer password in Genoa until today. Anyway, the trip to Genoa was cool. I switched trains at Pisa, no time to visit but i did document.

Then alot of the trip was in tunnels through the mountains with brief view like this

Finally Genoa. First the view from my terrace.

The first night we explored the villa, which is huge. We (katie and i at least) had tons of fun going through the supply closet of things left by past students. Some of the things we found included: pregnancy tests

 Laxatives

the bay of tampons, there was a similar one of qtips

Yesterday was our tour of the city lead by Frances....
Churches,

 favorite grocery stores,

offices of familiar names

 shopping areas

 random cool buildings

Today we had our first lunch cooked at the villa

and i had a chat with some of the villa's permanent residents.
