Tired but still traveling...
14 years of travels in Europe, and a few non-European countries, and still going. Random photos taken over the years with some commentary and background info. Thanks Rick Steves!

Santa Maria Assunta church.
"The church of Santa Maria Assunta features a dome made of majolica
tiles as well as a 13th Byzantine century icon of a black Madonna.
According to local legend, the icon had been stolen from Byzantium and
was being transported by pirates across the Mediterranean. A terrible
storm had blown up in the waters opposite Positano and the frightened
sailors heard a voice on board saying "Posa, posa!" ("Put down! Put
down!"). The precious icon was unloaded and carried to the fishing
village and the storm abated." – Wikipedia
