There was a very cool vibe in this cafe/bookstore in Florence, with great music playing. It also becomes a cool bar at night, but we didn't witness that transformation. This friendly young woman was our hostess and agreed to a few photos.
We ran up the path as soon as the rain stopped. There were lightning bolts behind us while we took shots of the harbor.
The beach at Monterosso must be a mad house in summer, but it wasn't too bad in September. There were only a handful of people swimming and such. It was certainly nice enough for many people to walk the street by the beach while enjoying gelato.
