Cinque Terre and back in Florence

We went to Cinque Terre on Saturday morning! We began our adventure with lunch at Bar and Vini A Pie de Ma, right on the outskirts of Riamaggiore, overlooking the town and the sea. We hiked through all 5 towns and took a lot of pictures. Everything was so pretty along the way, with amazing views of the coastline and of the previous and upcoming towns. My favorite town was Vernazza, there seemed to be a lot going on there. When we were almost to Monterosso (the 5th town), we came across a man on the trail making fresh squeezed lemonade in his backyard-we really enjoyed it! We ate dinner on the beach in Monterosso and then spent the night in Riamaggiore. Sunday we tried to find a spot on the beach in Monterosso, but it was already so crowded that all of the chairs were reserved, and it was very overcast so we ended up heading back to Florence. The train ride was SO HOT! I don't know why they don't use air conditioning when it is 100 degrees here. Sunday night we went to the bar-Mostodolce to watch the final World Cup game. We went to the boys apartment after the game and all hung out. Monday we went to class and then cooked dinner and went out to Twice! Tuesday we went to class and then Maggie, Carolyn and I went to the Academia to see the David. Maggie, Carolyn, Sarah, Ashton, Laura, Katherine, Courtney, Chris, Worth, Dan and I all went to Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sun set over Florence. The view from up there was incredible-well worth the hour walk there! We stayed for a long time, and then went to Gusta Pizza for dinner. It was the best pizza I have ever eaten! We sat on the bridge behind the Ponte Vecchio for a while before heading home. Today I have been to class and now I'm about to go to my favorite restaurant in Florence (the school cafeteria) for lunch with Maggie. CIAO!
