Howdy from Heaven.
Today I moved along my journey to the Cinque Terre. H-o-l-y crap. This place is intensely beautiful. I guess I wasn't thinking about it ahead of time so was hardly prepared to have the train come round a bend and suddenly stare into the most glorious ...

A Day on the Beach
Sunny and 32°C Up at 07h00, out and about for me at 07h30 to take photos in the morning light and to write postcards while sipping cappuccino at a small cafe. At 08h30 I hit the tiny grocery shop to purchase breakfast and fresh lunch supplies. We ate ...
