Cinque Terre Days

When you are in the seaside rea of he Cinque Terre and the clouds and rain don't allow you to view the sea you hve arrived at the wrong time. Pouring rain marked our arrival and the station master told us the elevator was broken. That means a trek a mountain goat couldn't navigate with suitacses and laptop in tow. Good thing he was wrong! The room would have a pectacular view if you coud see! Oh well, Saturday the sun did come out and we toured Monterosso, Vernazza, Mnarola and back to Riomaggiore on the via D'ell Amore once it was reopened. On the walk there is the a bar overlooking the Ligurian Sea, surrounded by cactus and rocks elevated high above the sea with views you can't believe... Once the Euro settles in @ $1 it will be time to make an offer. The 5 towns of the Cinque Terre put the 5 towns of Long Island to shame! Beauty everywhere and none of it was purchased at Fortunoff's. The people don't push and shove and while the local accent is still unintelligible to me I'm sure it's because they are not speaking English.. On to Lucca tomorrow... Ciao
