Cinque Terre (aka Paradiso Italiano)
CinqueTerre Slide show
Slideshows are all Jon's creative work. He does it so well.
Took a trip to Cinque Terre two days ago. Brilliant little towns nestled in the craggy cliffs of the coastline. We enjoyed shopping in the little shops down the narrow European walkways with Italian underwear hanging off clotheslines over our heads. Why is it that orange boxers are so charming against those old, chipped buildings?
Jacob took a few more photos so here they are:
The little passage down from the train to the water where all the shops were.
Umbrella-ed ristorante
Coastline viewed from on top of an old tower
Stefano (Italian cousin) and Johannah
Caitrin looking out of a covered tunnel through a stone window
We hiked, swam, ate a picnic lunch, enjoyed bougainvillea, tomato plants, olive trees and lush greenery in every direction.
Went to Pisa today and hope to catch up with those photos, though we are now so busy it may be days before I get back to the blog.
Just know that we are having the time of our lives and love sharing it with you as we can.
Much love,
Julie for all of us

Your coastline pic got turned upside down, or so it appears to me! What's up with that?!?!
Nice pix btw, looks lovely!

Okay, so there are no roads, just trains that connect the towns? That is interesting. Does this mean no cars in the towns? Is this like an Italian version of Mackinac Island? (except bigger with more dramatic coastlines and ocean instead of great lake surroundings?)
What do the people do there besides bask in glorious sunshine?
