A little slice of Heaven- Cinque Terre, Italy

What more can we say, we are in paradise over here. We took the train from Rome, to the cinque terre, four hours, sat with people from Vancouver and had a very pleasant ride. When we arrived we were greeted at the hotel with a glass of wine. We went to the beach, layed in the sun, and stared at the bright blue clear water. ( I must say that I did beat Andy into the Mediterranean!!!) We walked all around the very cute little town of Monorroso, and had a wonderful Italian meal, a reccomendation of Andi Poggi. Today we got up had our best continental breakfast so far, and hiked to the next little town of Vernazza. The famous one that everyone knows from picture, and it sure was pretty! The hike was great through the vineyards along the steep cliffs, and we had lunch when we got there. The Italians in these little villages are so nice, friendly, and seem so at peace here in there cliffside villages. Tomorrow we are going to hike and explore the other three towns! They are easier hikes and closer together! Take care and Love to all.
