Dad arrived yesterday after a mostly uneventful flight. Only a short 4-hour delay in Boston. We are glad to see him again and he was very happy to be here with us!
Today's title is Cinque Terra, but we only made it to Una Terra. We took a couple of wrong turns and only reached RioMaggiore, the first of the 5 cities, it was 1pm, then we had to find a parking spot, that took 30 minutes, then we had to walk into town from the parking spot and that took another hour, so by the time we got there, it was 2:30 or 3:00 and then the water of the Mediterranean lured us to itself. We started by putting our toes in, but the waves were big and we all got wet. So we sat in the sun to dry off. Then another hike to get off the beach, stopped for gelato, walked a little further, realized Maggie's sweatshirt got left behind, went back to get it, and got sidetracked when we stopped to watch the dolphins jumping in the sea. That was pretty cool. By then we were all too tired to go to the second terra. Quite an adventure. It was made even more interesting by squeezing 6 of us into a 5-seater car! But the one we saw was very beautiful and I hope you can see some of the beauty by the small pictures attached.
