« weekend in Coccaglio and bike ride around Monte Isola | Main | "what IS that?" ~ PhotoHunt »
I am feeling a little like this today:
I took the photo of the rose on a wall by this beautiful church in Portofino.
When you first arrive in Portofino by boat, you can see part of the church behind the buildings in the main piazza.
Oh, and did you notice my new sunflower photo? That was the only sunflower I saw on my trip this year! I saw it outside a shop on my walk up to San Luca in Bologna.

Hi Girasoli, Awesome photos! Sorry that you're feeling like that rose today . . . is it jet lag or missing Italy a lot? Maybe both . . . I know that I would be feeling like that rose too after leaving Italy.
Reading your blog is making me want to change my 2009 Italy destination from Positano to SML and Portofino! I totally enjoyed reading about your time there.
Love these photos! That church is really cool looking . . . I can definitely see myself hanging out in that main piazza! Thanks for sharing and posting these so quickly.

Oh, what a lovely church! I love those stripes. And the campanile.
And I love the new sunflower too. I hope that soon you will feel more like the sunflower and less like that rose!

Awww...poor rose. Are you still jet-lagged, or have you moved into PVSD (post vacation stress disorder)?

How lovely to see these photos first thing in the morning! I love small churches and this one has a lot of charm as does the town of Portofino. Your sunflower photo is gorgeous! I hope you get over the jet lag soon and feel like a sunflower. :-)

I love your sunflower photo, Girasoli -- such a beautiful, smiling face. I hope by now that you`re feeling more like her, than like the jet-lagged rose!
Your photos from Portofino are stunning. As Kathy says, I`m beginning to revise my 2009 plan to include SML and Portofino!!

Leslie, I was disappointed that it was closed when I was there. Guess I will just have to go back again :)
I am off to acupuncture (appt. made before I left). Hopefully that will perk me up a little. Not sure if this is a bug or as Jill says, PVSD. I am working towards getting back to feeling like a sunflower. My boys (the Red Sox) are on TV for all 3 games of the Angels-Sox series this weekend. That should help perk me up, especially if we win at least a couple of the games.
I would say that Portofino is one of the most beautiful places of all the places I have seen in Italy. It is pretty difficult to take a bad photo there.
