Cinque Terre

This last weekend was an adventure. Being the spontaneous world travelers that we are, we packed up friday after class and went to the train station to see where we could end up. We found the 3:50 train to paradise and hopped on.

Cinque Terre is a goup of 5 small towns nestled on the Mediterranean coats. Our first stop was the southernmost town of Riomaggiore. It was my favorite of the 5 towns we visited. Small, colorful, and warm. We stayed the night in a hostel 10 feet from the water, and woke up saturday for an early morning swim.

After we checked out of the hostel, we hiked on what is called Via Dell'Amore (The Walk of Love) north, stopping at each town.

Although they are all located feet from the water, each town has its own unique ambience. Riomaggiore and Vernazza were the most beautiful in my opinion.

Warm water, fresh seafood, and inviting colors made me sad to leave.
