The Clemson Villa

These are a few shots of the Clemson villa.






In this photo, we are approaching the villa walking uphill.  In the distance, you can see the gray wall beyond the villa, which is a retaining wall for the 'garden' (see below).


















Here we are looking back down the street (Via Piaggio).


 














This is about as good of an angle I can get to that shows how the front looks.  (the roads are narrow and steep.)







This view is of the back of the villa taken from the street (still Via Piaggio...it just curves back and forth up the hill.) almost in front of our 'neighbor' in the earlier post.





This is taken from the balcony outside the bedroom looking at the "garden".  It is considered very large because land is very expensive in Genova (like a lot of cities).





As far as the weather goes, the first couple of days it was pretty hot with little breeze (and no AC).  But now it has cooled down a bit and it has been a little more breezy -- makes for a very comfortable weather.

Test Post 'due' (2)

this is a test of putting up images...

That took a long time to upload, so unless I find another method, I'm going to have to save a lower resolution version before uploading.



This is just up the hill from the Clemson Villa.  One of our 'neighbors'.  I'll take some of our villa soon and post them.
