Since we haven't written in so long..... here's a quick catch-up. We spent our last day in western italy in Cinque Terre, specifically the town of Monterossa. About 2 hours outside florence, it is 5 towns all very close together on the hills overlooking the ocean, with a huge hike connecting all of them. We were too hot and lazy to brave the hike, so we opted for laying out on the beach and enjoying some authentic pesto bruschetta and white wine. Thanks for the recommendation Molly, it was awesome.
We met a very nice family from seattle who had just moved to Paris and had some tourist chat, as well as an intersting military couple who gave us some recommendations for our upcoming journey to Venice.
This statue is absolutely incredible and is at the base of what looks like used to be a castle.
Fiesole. This is a tiny tiny little town that sits up in the hills overlooking Florence. If you would like a quiet romantic getaway it would be nice to get a hotel up there and just take the 15 min bus ride into Florence everyday. Definately our favorite view of florence, and the best pizza of the city as well.
NEXT STOP: Venice! Ciao!
