Cinque Terre-moon glow

The Cinque Terre was everything that the big cities were not. Small, intimate, and (somewhat) friendly. Things move at their own pace here. Even the dogs have their own benches to snooze on. What's not to like about that?




This was a picture we shot inside the window of a resturant that were ate dinner one evening. Steve had Fruti del mare, which (literally translated) equates to paying too many Euros to shell all your own clams, prawns, mussels and crayfish. It was good, but....


This place sold a "special cookbook" of recipes that the chef wouldn't even share with his special close friends, but he would share it with you, his "very special friend" for 10E.







A few pictures from the pier near our B. Normally we would call it a B&B, but the place we resided in this town only had Beds to offer, not a bed and breakfast.










There are local fisherman who work on small boats like this. We could see them out in the distance on the water working, but didn't see too many of them near the pier. We may have seen one or two on the pier working on their nets.











Moonlight reflecting on the ocean.
