To The Lighthouse!

I had a very good day today. It included a productive morning and an enjoyable class in the afternoon. Around 6:00, though, a bunch of us set out to find the Genoa lighthouse. It's viewable from a distance, but we had no clue how long it would take to walk to it. Well, it took about an hour! Unfortunately the Lighthouse was closed, but we could walk around the base. In the first photo you can see the large shipping yard with thousands of containers ready to go in and out of the port. Photo #2 features Mark, Josh, Sam, Jennifer, and London. Finally in the third photo you get a good view of the Lighthouse itself. According to Wikipedia, a lighthouse has stood on this location since 1128, although the current structure was built in 1543. It is also the second tallest masonry lighthouse in the world.
