Ciao!
We got to Monterosso after a 19hr ferry. Our hotel is super nice... but everything here is uphill! Cinque Terre is BEAUTIFUL - words can't even describe it.
Yesterday we checked in at the hotel, then had lunch on the beach. We all had gnocchi... it was great! While we were sitting there an old italian man stopped to greet the pretty Americans and give us kisses on the cheeks. Then we went to the beach. It's not sandy at all... it is all rocks, but the view makes up for it. We laid out until 7ish and then went and showered. For dinner we went to old Monterosso and had great sea food at Ristorante Al Pazza (Brooke had to peel jumbo shrimp... it was funny!) We walked around, shopped, got gelato and went to bed!
Today, we took a short train ride to another city in Cinque Terre called Vernazza. It is mainly a fishing port, but everything is rustic and picturesque. My camera is not working at the moment (the lens won't open all the way :(... sad! I am trying to fix it) but Brooke and Whit are taking tons of pictures to make up for it.
We shipped some stuff home today so parents be watching out for that :) They said it should be there in about 4 days... one box to the Lawshes and one box to the Housers.

Wow! What a deal! Sounds like y'all are having a great time! Kiley, have you tried putting a new battery in your camera?
ReplyDeleteSince y'all are not able to post pictures so far, we've all had to Google the places so we can get an idea of what we're missing. (but it's not the same since we don't get to see your smiling faces). Try to figure out the picture deal somewhere.
Love and miss you.
