Tall old houses by the beach and a drowsy cat waits for fishermen on furled white nets: a quiet November in Camogli— pensioners sunbathe on lounge chairs, the lazy sun circles and pebbles roll slowly on the beach's gravel, but it, the sea, keeps coming shoreward, wave after wave, as if eager to see what's become of summer's plans, and of our dream, which used to be our youth.
