While students traveled to the French Riviera and Venice this weekend, we headed to La Spezia, Italy's important port city in Liguria. On Saturday we took a boat ride to Portovenere, but the boat could not dock so we were taken to the island of Palmaria. We spent a few hours exploring the beautiful island before realizing we had to find a water taxi to get across the gulf to Portovenere, a beautiful city on the water. It is said Lord Byron spent a lot of time here. A memorial marks the spot where he started his swim from Portovenere to Cinqueterra, many miles up the coast.
