May 25th-Portovenere & Cinqua Terra

Italy just keeps getting more and more beautiful! This is Byron's Cove at the tip of Portovenero, reputed to be the muse of the poet's inspiration.

 Tripping down little stone alleyways, one can even get inexpensive & unusual home decorating ideas....

Yes, those are pasta curtains!

Approaching Venazzo, one of the five "Cinqua Terra" little towns clinging to Italy's Ligurian coast.

I think this is Montarossa, the first and oldest of the "Cinqua Terra", but I'm not sure...I got lost in the enjoyment of it all.
