The Mediterrainean Sea is big, blue, and beautiful. Got into the Cinque Terre yesterday and walked around Monterroso al Mare most of the night. Today I did 'the hike' - about 8 hours all told on the paths in between the five town while stopping in each town for a tour and refueling. It is relentlessly hot here, but after a while, stripped down to nothing but the baggie shorts, it's actually not too noticeable. Drinking lots of water. It's hard not taking a picture every 30 seconds because the views are simply amazing, so, that's what I've been doing. It's 4pm here, about to head off to Vernazza or Monterosso for some Sciaccetra or Cinque Terre wine and lay by the beach somewhere, soak in the authenticity. Unfortunately, internet is really expensive here, so I've got to cut it short. Off to Florence early tomorrow, and Venice the day after for my last day in Italy. Absolutely beautiful, scenic, unreal here... I'm somewhere in a different world, and liking it.
Chow.

Sorry I missed your call the other day......it was 8:30 AM here and I was still in bed just waking up. I said that I would except the call but they wanted a credit card and of course I did not have one handy. Hope you get a chance to call again. I will be more prepared next time. Can't wait 'til you get home to share your more stories and your beautiful photos.

Hey Scott,
ReplyDeleteBonjourno, amici-- I'm pretty sure that translates to "Hello, friend" but not positive.
Christi passed on the link to your blog to me. Glad you got to Europe safe and sound. Sounds like things are going smoothly with the journey so far! Enjoy laying on the beach today and soaking up the beauty that is Italy! Where to next?
