Italian Sojourning - 04/09/07

Just got back from my first proper European holiday since I moved over here 11 months ago. Lyndsay and I went to Cinque Terre on the northwest Italian coast. I now get why Brits are pathologically obsessed by holidays in the sun--the human version of photosynthesis (let's call it humosynthesis, shall we?)--cannot happen on an island that gets 8 days of sun a year. Pasty-white, melatonin-deprived, mayonaise-skinned monster that I am, I still loved it.

I've posted a gallery in the photography section called Cinque Terre, and another in the sketches section called (mond-bogglingly) Cinque Terre Sketches. I didn't do as much drawing as I'd like, but did have a little bit of fun.

Also, these guys from Monterosso al Mare are my heroes (3rd movement of "Winter" from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"...)
