A few days ago we took a boat ride to Portovernere. Another Cinque Terre type town on the Italian Riviera.
Turns out that Lord Byron has a big impact on this place. He came here to write. As Kini and I sat next in the piazza sipping a beer I read to her his poem "She walks in Beauty". The poem made a lot of sense being read in this location to Kini. I want to share a couple of lines...
We went up to the gate to his swimming hole, now called Byron's cove, but did not go for a swim. Instead we listened to a harp player in an alcove.
