Trouble in Paradise?

It's all relative. Our pain is we have to leave again. Such trouble! We have to leave the beach, the rhythm of the waves and the relaxed energy of Monterosso. Today, we are bound for Florence and a walk to the top of the Duomo in 90 degree heat this afternoon.

We took a boat ride down the coast to Porto Venere yesterday and got a great from the water view of every picture postcard town along the way. It was hot so we took a dip in the ocean w our regular clothes on. What the hay?! Plus tasted a remarkable solo cup of cold pesto pasta and we are still talking today about how good it was. ;) Who would have thought?

When we returned, i went on a wonderful hike to Vernazza and took the 10 minute boat taxi back. it's sez it's an hour and a half. But I got er down just under an hour. Then went for a swim w the fish back in Monty. See hike picsRead more
