cinque terre = AMAZING. this is one of the coolest places ive been yet! cinque terre is a group of five coastal villages in italy. the villages were created by peasants and fisherman and they are literaly built into the sides of these clifs. all of the building are different colors and the harbors are filled with tiny fishing boats. we stayed in riogamorrie. it was quite interesting getting our room. we didnt actually book a place so we just showed up in the village at midnight and walked around until we found someone who knew someone who had a vacancy. we met with the landlord and he began to walk us to our room. little did we know that we were about to have to climb what seemed like a thousand stairs with our huge bags. when we finally made it to the room, i felt like i had run a marathon. it was so good to just shower and sleep! we went to the village of manarola on our full day and explored, laid out and swam. it was nice to relax. we had a nice dinner in riogamorrie and went back to manarola to see it at night. we met this cute couple on their honeymoon! it always amazes me the connections you make with complete strangers. we also got to see vernazza for a little bit on sunday before we left for milan. it was nice too. they had some really neat shops. all in all cinque terre was absolutely incredible.
