Portofino Italy...we arrived by ferry to this sleepy little town. "Normally, it is not so sleepy." said the guide. In fact, Madonna recently celebrated a birthday at one of the castles and the town was vibrant with activity. But in November, the tourists leave and most of the shops were closed for the winter season. That was fine by me. I was able to explore some of the cobblestone paths on foot. My favorite was the one that wandered through the upper hillside overlooking the town...out to the farthest point--where a white lighthouse stood warning boaters of danger during rough seas. 
Below, this Portofino home was erected on the steep hillside that lined the path leading out to the lighthouse. No cars on this road. So to reach this property, you must be willing to walk...and carry all your supplies. The green vines and Itailian charm seduced me into taking a closer picture of the workmanship.
