Cinque Terre

10-11-2007.

We were a little fearful that Cinque Terre was going to be "Rick Steved" - the phenomenon of noisy Americans with blue books. But this place is beautiful. Right on the Mediteranian, five little towns nestled into the rocks. Narrow streets, steep stairs, and no cars.




Yesterday we parked the car and hit the trail, skipping the train that runs between the towns. First stop, Vernazza.



We found a little room in an "Affita Camere", basically a room in someone's very old home. Cozy, clean, and the price was right, so we set up a home base for two nights. After sipping wine on the harbor we had a wonderful dinner, including the local 'anitpasti' - mixed yummy fresh seafood. Mmmmm.



Today we walked south to visit the other three towns. We stopped along the way for pizza, gelato, gorgeous views, and a naked dip in the Mediteranian. Sorry, no pictures :^)




We're back in Vernazza tonight, looking forward to more seafood. Tomorrow, sadly, we must leave these beautiful towns behind. But we're psyched to be heading back into France, and towards Provence where we'll settle into a cottage for a week starting this Saturday. It'll be nice to slow down a little... But we'll miss you Italy!

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested
to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know
this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
