Cinque Terre!

Last Saturday (back when I knew what free time was)..we went to Cinque Terre to go to the beach and enjoy the amazing weather here.  CT is on the Italian Riviera and made up of five small towns that you can hike between or take the train between.. We hiked the last four towns and arrived just in time to see an amazing sunset and an awesome wildfire.  It was a beautiful, relaxing day with some sunbathing, hiking, and pure enjoyment of Tuscan scenery!

We stopped at the leaning tower or Pisa on the way there...it's still leaning.

You can not beat that scenery!

Ahh..the beach..the Mediterranean..it was heaven!!

A partially burnt tree from a recent fire (they had another one the night we were there in Riomaggiare)

The walk between the last two towns is called Via Dell Amore and these locks were all along a section of the path - I guess they haveing something to do with keys and hearts or some such romantic notion..

That's a church on top of the hill..it was really really serene.
