Back from ITALY!!

So, I kind of dropped off the face of the earth for a few weeks. (did some of you miss me?) It is always my intension to post blogs while traveling, but it just didn't work this time, for several reasons. One I had JUST gotten back from teaching at the American Sewing Expo and didn't have time to prepare a bunch of blogs ready to go and my blog writing website on my iPad was giving me trouble in Italy, so I just gave up, zoned out and ate WAY too much food.
We were in four different cities. I'm going to talk about this one first. It is a tiny town called Vernazza the second of five little towns that hug the coast between Genoa and Pisa. They are very close together, about a mile apart and all together are call Cinque Terre. A nation park surrounds the towns and the main activity is walking the paths up and down along the cliffs between towns which are VERY steep.

Which is a good thing because the other activity is eating.

OMG, did we eat well and often and a lot! That orange drink is an Aperol Spritz.  So refreshing after a long steep climb.

A little Italian beer also is good after a long and steep climb. You can see the back side of the room we stayed in through the bars of the railing.

And in true Schewe fashion we were the first ones up waiting for the restaurants to open so we could have our morning coffee which, of course, was terrific.

This is the view from our little terrace. You can see how high we had to climb to get to our room.

But, it was totally worth it for the beautiful view looking the other way. That's Monterosso in the distance, the first town of the five nearest Genoa.

We visited Florence, Siena and Rome ... so more next week.
