A week ago we arrived in Varenna, Italy for three nights on Lake Como. We had an awesome room (view here) that you can see in this photo as the second red building over from the left. Today’s photo is the reverse angle from the ferry boat on our way back from Bellagio.

I’ve been married for 25 years as of today. Today’s photo comes from year number 13.

Today’s photo is from the archives, June of 2005 to be exact. I had a cheap, point-and-shoot camera at the time so I guess I need to go back to Italy now that I have a bit more of a clue about photography.

Vernazza, Italy – before and after the flood

Vernazza, Italy (part of the Cinque Terre) in 2005

This is the first time I have posted anything about Italy in several years. Why post now? Recently (October 25, 2011), the Cinque Terre experienced a disaster that wasn’t exactly newsworthy in the USA. However, I stumbled upon a website that contained photos of the great flood of 2011 which literally wiped out much of the Cinque Terre.

The above photo (sorry for the poor resolution) is me sitting on the deck outside the place we stayed in Vernazza. The photo below is of the exact same lodgings on the day of the flood.
