Cinque Terre is a region in the north west of Italy where five (Cinque) towns have united to gain UNESCO heritage status and attract lots of tourists. The villages are charming and colorful, but also crowded. You hear a lot of English and German and Dutch there, but very little Italian. The Italians know you can go a little way down the road to Comogli or Sestri Levante or San Frutuosso and find exactly the same kind of darling fishing village with corful homes clinging to the hills.
We started with coffee. Then Matt and I took the kids while Brenna and Jim hiked from Corniglia to Vernazza. (A strenuous journey by foot.)
I’m sick so I didn’t take many pictures, but still enjoyed my time here. It’s so pretty.
The kids ate ice cream and played in the rocky water.
I’m really sick. I feel so exhausted and my throat is super sore.

The same, but different. The towns on the Italian coasts are all so quaint, cute and picturesque. I haven’t commented on you traveling with your family. It truly must be wonderful traveling with your grandkids and watching them see and experience all of this at such a young age. Like I’ve said before, I find myself turning an ugly color of green.
