Last day in Vernazza

Today Darcy and I hiked along the coast through three of the five towns that make up Cinque Terre: Corniglia immediatly to the south followed by Manarola and then Riomaggiore. The first part of the trail had a lot of up and down, but the last part was quite flat which made for a nice way to end the hike. Then we took the ferry back to Vernazza. This is a national part and there is a fee to hike the trail, but it was well worth it. There were some great views... many more great views per mile than the AT. We were also considering renting an open kayak for two, but by the time we got back we were beat. So we took showers and just chilled. Again, I regret it takes so long to post pictures and I'll have to add them later or point you to a Picasa sight. Last night, and again this night we sat on the rocks and watched the moon set in the west, listening to the waves crash against the break-water. Very nice. We decided some family members would love it here and others would not. This is definatly a place that Lizde, Jacquie and Jeana would fit right in.
Tomorrow we head to Milano, and then Friday we're off to Atlanta, sweet home.
