Varazze!


Zio Marco and Zia Raffaella were kind enough to let us stay in their place in Varazze, so the weekend after the Dolomites, we switched gears and went to the sea. We luckily had a beautiful, warm day on Saturday, and we even took a swim in the ocean!  I really like this photo of Luca looking on as Norah explores.

Norah on the path to our secret beach, which isn't really a secret, but seems that way. You have to climb through a bamboo stand and go down a steep path to get to it. There was another couple there when we got there, and they did NOT look happy to see our big group, but we weren't too annoying!

Norah and James getting ready to go in; Luca was just happy as a clam throwing rocks into the waves. We had to remind him several times to NOT throw them when people were in front of him. Luckily, he didn't hit anyone!

Later, we walked back toward town and played on a sandier beach. Here's Oma and Susannah taking a break from pouring sand from one bucket to another.

Oma is passing on her fondness for searching for great rocks; in this case, it was sea glass they were looking for.
