An amazing day in Cinque Terre…

with 2 comments

I am absolutely dying to write about my incredible day yesterday. It was my favorite day of the entire trip and just idyllic. But I can’t do it justice without pictures, because the views were half the pleasure. I’m working on getting pictures posted, but as a teaser let me just say that yesterday included:

Breakfast in a lemon grove; impulsive swimming; a hidden beach; bruschetta with Pesto (in the place they invented pesto), hundreds of feet of vertical ascent on steep, slippery, narrow steps; gelato; a delicious drink called caipirosco made with absolutely fresh lemons; a late-night stroll by the water hearing stories from locals about the history of Monterosso; mussels; and the best gnocci I have ever tasted.

I can’t wait to put up the pictures and recountĀ  the whole day.
