Nonsense following.
Dear diary,
I just got back from a few days of camping with my girlfriend in liguria. I've never camped before and it's been very very fun to try that out. Liguria is a coastal region in northwestern Italy that has a very nice morphology with low mountains and plateaus that plunge directly in the sea, so, if you like trekking you can trek, with the possibility of ending the trip on the beach and have dip. That's been quite nice. Also, liguria is quite interesting also in an archaeological perspective, given that its caves (which are plenty) often had been inhabited during prehistoric times (throughout the late paleolithic and onwards). Here it's been found a famous prehistoric burial, the so-called "prince of Arene Candide" (arene candide=white sand, toponym of the cave in which it's been found) with his headgear made of cowrie shells and many other prestigious goods (hence "prince").
The trip back from my vacation has been quite an exodus, due to the terribly hot weather as well as problems with the trains, but I arrived home and today it's my birthday: now I'm a quarter of century old.

Was Liguria some sort of burial spot? Or it was just by chance that the "prince" was found in there? If it's a coastal site it would make me think that it would have been used more as a commercial place than burial ground.
In any case, happy birthday!
Thank you :D
