An amazing thing to see in all the local towns is the Trompe l'Oile on the sides of many of the buildings. One has to look very closely to note that the walls of the building are actually smooth stucco material. Some of the buildings are very elaborately painted and most are kept in excellent condition.
This moring we decided to train to Camogli where the actual wedding service will be tomorrow. It is a pleasant town on the other side of the peninsula where we are. From Camogli, we had an excellent view of Genoa. It was a little gray and windy there so there were not a lot of brave souls swimming, but it made for nice walking weather. We are going to try and update our blog this afternoon so will end now and will continue later...
Below are some examples of the Trompe l'Oeil we mentioned. Itis everywhere and often hard to tell that it is not the real thing.
