Cuneo, San Remo & Imperia

On Saturday, December 20 Peg and I went on a last apartment fixing trip to Cueno, San Remo and Imperia, three cities we had not yet visited.

 We left at 7 am in heavy fog.  2 hours later we were still driving in the fog, but it began to clear up and 30 minutes later when we got to Cuneo it was a sunny clear day.  Cuneo is Italian for "Wedge".  There are two rivers that have carved valleys that slowly come together forming a wedge.  Cuneo is built on the high ground between these two rivers.  Above is view of the mountains and the road bridge and railroad bridge crossing one river valley to the city on the left.

 After fixing their faucet and delivering mail and a few other items, We drove 2 hours to San Remo.  We ran into the Sisters walking down the street and they showed us the Church.  It is upstairs of the local sea front grocery store!

 San Remo was warm, almost 70 degrees F and very beautiful.

 There were flowers everywhere

 A very ornate old building

 After getting something to eat we drove to Imperia.  We got there before the Elders so we had a chance to wait for them on the local sea front walkway.

 There were many fabulous old buildings

We met the Elders and delivered book cases, replaced bed slats and many other things. We then had a 3 hour drive back to Milano.  As we left Liguria and passed through the coast range of mountains we were suddenly back in the fog for the last 2 hours of the drive home.  It was a long day but very rewarding.
