A Beautiful Dream! Part Five – Genoa, Italy

Have you ever had a dream so beautiful that it felt real…I did…and it was. Welcome to Part Five of my dreamy journey to France, Italy, and Spain! In this next leg of the journey, my family joined me, and we hopped on a cruise to Italy and Spain. Our first stop was Genoa, where we toured the town on bikes. Some of our favorite points on our route were the Home of Christopher Columbus, Boccadasse Beach with boats and cafe’s and the Piazza De Ferrari fountain in the middle of the city.

This is me in front of the house of Christopher Columbus! Now I’m walking in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus. It’s so amazing that something this old exists and that we can fly across the world to visit it. Below is a watercolor sketch of the scene from Boccadasse Beach in Genoa, Italy, along with a quick study of the scene in oil.
