RE: Portofino, Italy

Here's a couple more.* There is a broker in the harbor selling the first boat, which I believe are locally built.* The little floating barge is a small bar and has the best mussels the wife and I have ever had.* Even better than our local Penn Cove, although I feel a bit like a traitor for admitting that.* It may have had somthing to do with the ambience and the company...
Didn't see but one "trawler", a big Nordhavn hanging on the hook way out in the bay.

Hey Eric, we're on J dock and just had breakfast at Sisters last month.

The modern Italy that we saw was not too impressive.* Very industrial and cold.**We spent some time around the outskirts of Florence and along the coast where the marble is processed.* I'm sure the Italians think the same thing driving down I-5.*
