Martedi - Market Day in Bogliasco

 Tuesday is market day in Bogliasco.  This is somewhat of a relative term as Bogliasco is a small community of just over 4,000 people.  The market is held in the main Piazza next to the church (Chiesa della Nativita di Maria Santissima)......and is set up by allowing food trucks and vendors to drive into the piazza.  The main street through town is then closed to traffic and a nice pedestrian oriented experience is created.  The event is appropriately small in scale, but it is nice to see the 'locals' out and about.

We should note that we woke up to another sunny day today.  At breakfast we had the advantage of the strawberries and raspberries that we bought in Chiavari......which were enjoyed by all.  Today, David and Val are leaving for Sicily.  We had connected with them in this first week and are sorry to see them go.

Coffee at Bar Centro is always a good place to start.........right across from the Piazza. 

Funny to be at the food market........and not buy anything! But back at the Villa our food for the week was being delivered!

Lunch was outside on the terrace.......and fortunately the awning was out, as a surprise thunderstorm moved in and we had some 'noise' and a bit of rain for about 20 minutes.  Everyone was covered!

Andrea at her desk after lunch!

and another place to sit and read in the garden.

There are surprises everywhere in the giardini.  Below are a few fantastical sculptures that appear in the woods on the eastern side of the property........
