This next portion of our journey was my favorite part (even though I would've preferred less sweating). We took the train to Cinque Terre, which is a portion of the coast on the Italian Riviera. It was beautiful, picturesque, so much fun, and oh so hot.
We enjoyed more gelato (always so-oo delicious, but Florence beats for the tastiest; chocolate, and peach were my favorite flavor choices). I also loved seeing so much laundry draped out over balconies, and so many beautifully tanned people.
Then my absolute most favorite part was visiting Monterosso Beach, which was just a short walk from our first stop. Beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful. I could've spent hours upon hours there, so I wish we would've discovered this beach much sooner.
We topped the night off at a delicious little family owned Italian restaurant. I especially loved the bruschetta. Sigh...what a great day!
Still a bit more coming!
