Those that know me well, know I am loving my birthday....being in Italy, on the Italian Rivera! Only thing to make it better, have all my peeps here and a boat to be on.
I decided to go to Portofino for the day...took the ferry to San Fruttuoso, a small swimming area that you can only reach by boat...wish I had my swimsuit on!
It was so hot so I didn't stay long and headed for my real birthday destination...Portofino! Talk about beautiful....a-freaking-amazing! Did nothing but walk, look, eat lunch, walk and look and have a drink, but hey it's my birthday....I can do what I want.
After the ferry ride back, a nice hot shower and a good glass of red wine, I'm off to dinner. The lady at my hotel directed me to a love little restruarant by the port (in one of those tiny alleys) for great seafood and she was right!
Round 1
Forgot to get a picture--before I even order, they brought out baked mussles and what I would call their attempt at a hush puppy.
Round 2
Appitizer-the house seafood platter....yum yum!
Round 3
The consider past their first course so I had pasta...with pesto of course! Genova is known for pest and hello can we say A-MAZ-ING!
Round 4
Main course...I had Grilled Calamari and man they were so tender you could use a butter knife or fork to cut them!!
Round 5
Round 6
Lemoncello- used to support digestion! I really like the way Italians think about food!!
Rund 7--not food
My neighbor decided to join me for a picture....not sure his wife was happy but we are all dying laughing!
Now that's how to celebrate a birthday....it was short a few special people (big and small) but otherwise, this was my kind of day!!!!
