A number of years back, the hubster had two meetings in rapid succession: one in the Algarve in Portugal, and the second in Genoa, Italy. While he was busy, I roamed around. These pictures were taken back in the days of film, and then scanned. I didn't think about sizing them for enlargement. Hope they're still acceptable. But first, I'm guest blogging at "Once Written, Twice Shy" today. Pop over there. These pictures will be here when you get back.
Anyone know what these are?
And now to Genoa. Quite the contrast.
I'd like to wish a Happy Easter to those who observe the holiday. And if you haven't yet joined in the LASR egg hunt, there's still time to enter and win prizes. If you've had trouble finding the egg on my site, here's a hint: It won't cost you anything. Good luck.

Great photos. Thanks for the trip.
Gorgeous photos! Two incredible cities. The age of the buildings always amazes me. Hard to imagine living there all the time. :)
Oooohh, I love Italy. We haven't been to Portugal yet, but I can't wait to go.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Nice photos. I don't know what the pots are for. Something to do with fishing or boats?
Glad to share, Mason
Jemi - agreed, we who live in this "infant" country are always astonished at the rich history when we go to places that have been around a while.
GD - Definitely a worthwhile trip. We were there in the off-season, so it was calm and we could enjoy the countryside. Bring an appetite!
Carol - good guess. I'll wait awhile before I answer.
Beautiful area - cries to be enjoyed and painted.
Aren't those oil jars?
Elena - another good guess. But wrong. :-)
Love the pics!
The pots look like something the fishermen would use?

Elizabeth - thanks. Pots: Yes, but for what?
Beautiful photos of beautiful places. Thanks.
European cities look so different than American ones. Maybe its the antiquity. Love it.
Thanks, Wynter. Most of our cities are still babies.
Interesting photos. Activates my travel gene.
I think those "things" are pottery from the past, though they're more than shards.

Joan, they're current, not ancient.
Thanks for the photos.
