A Year in the Life.....: Cinque Terre:)

In the first few weeks of being in Italy, I took my first european trip to Cinque Terre. For those of you who don't know where that is, Cinque Terre is located on the north west coast of the Italian Riviera in the Liguria region of Italy. Cinque Terre is literally called, "The Five Lands" and is made up of five small towns: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The best part of course was that there is a small (actually pretty long) street called Via dell' Amore (The street of Love). It's this long street that couples walk along and according to history, Couples come to Via dell' amore with a lock, and they have to find the most romantic spot and lock it to symbolize their eternal love for each other. I know it's sappy but it's quite romantic and I'm a big fan of romance. Anywho here are pictures from Cinque Terre. Oh and for all you outdoor fanatics, You can also hike through all 5 towns to get to the Monterosso. (the last town to the beach and a beautiful scenery). a couple of my friends hiked and took about 4 hours but they said it was totally worth it. So as promised here are some lovely pictures.
