I couldnt think of something witty for the title...

So I spent the last two nights in Genova enjoying all that the city has to offer. From it's industrial port right next to the centro to the slums of Brin, I have seen it all!

But seriously, I did go to the aquarium which was a lousy experience due to the little hooligans that were running rampant through the aquarium as well as all the old people who were running rampant through the museum.. bleh.

Luckily, after the aquarium, I went to the BIOSHPERE which sounds really cool and like Pauly Shore might be there, but it actually is only like a 50' diameter sphere with a terrarium environment inside. There were some really cool plants that were flowering as well as these annoying pink birds that pooped every 30 seconds. No kidding.

That about wraps up day two if you include an epic search for awesome food that followed, ending in some Indian cusine.

Today I started the day with the Mueseo dell Culturale which was a mueseum of oddities that a ship captain had collected throughout his years in service.
The mueseo featured several really cool things, but one unique thing was seeing a piece of the Great Wall of China next to a piece of the great pyramids, next to a stuffed platypus...
Oddities indeed.

After that I hopped on a train to Carrara where the Lambruschi's hail from and I met up with Stefania, my cousin that I have never met before toeday.

We went to the beach and relaxed for a few hours. I played some ball in the surf for what seemed like hours but was apparently only 40 min. Then I caught some rays and chatted with Stefania for a while after that.
It was an awesome relaxing experience that I really needed after 4 weeks in a high stress fast paced environment.

Peace for now, its time to shower up and head out to the bar, then to the restaurant, then to the bar again!
