They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, here is a 3,000 word essay. This is in Cinque Terre, the most relaxing spot we've ever seen. It is made up of 5 small towns, connected by a train or hiking trails. We spent the first of our two days there at the beach- beautiful, blue-green water right against the mountains. On the second day, we hiked between the first three towns. Cinque Terre is a national park, with rules against large developments, so, although it has been discovered by tourists, it has still retained its small-town charm. We could walk through the town we stayed in, Vernazza, in less than 5 minutes. We rented a room from a nice older Italian lady named Theresa, who spoke no English. Two of Nicolle's favorite foods- focaccia bread and pesto- originated here, and we enjoyed them several times.

It looks like you guys are walking through postcards or paintings. Awesome! And, ewwww....could have done without the kissing picture. :) Just kidding. Who did you ask to take that? Or did you just set up the camera?
Hi! Bob and I stayed in Vernazza on our honeymoon. We also stayed with a woman (maybe Theresa?!) in the building right in center of the picture, on the third floor, to the right. She spoke no English but had lived in Mexico City, so we were able to communicate in Spanish! The most amazing experience was wandering into the church (at the far left in the picture) and hearing the choir, and operatic choir director, practice. Unforgetable. Have a great rest of your trip, C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!, and thanks for sharing your blog. xo, Auntie Kim
