I fell off the face of the earth

And landed here..............

Riomaggiore

Vernazza

Manarola

Otherwise known as the Cinque Terre. Words cannot even explain the beauty, so I won't even try. All I can say is no museum lines, off season meant no crowds, no internet (that I could afford) was a nice change of pace, and I partook of the freshest seafood I have ever eaten (the man who handmade my pasta and cooked my seafood caught it that morning on his little boat). And yes father, I did have to have to waiter rip the legs off of my shrimp. I just couldn't do it. Maybe one day.
