His/Hers

David’s Highlights:

1.) Walking along the vineyards overlooking Manarola–gorgeous!

2.) Climbing on the seaside rocks.

3.) The fish we ate at Trattoria dal Billy.

Brenna’s Highlights:

1.) There is a hike along the coast that connects the five towns that make up Cinque Terre.  It is beautiful and challenging and very rewarding. It was a fun change from the museums and other tourist attractions we left behind us in the bigger cities.

2.)  Pesto, pesto, pesto! If you like pesto, this is the region to visit.  I made sure to have it everyday…on pizza, foccacia, or on the local noodle called trofie.  I would have probably eaten it plain if I could!

3.) We had one amazing evening in the small town of Manarola.  The sun set over the water making the sky explode with colors.  We ate our favorite meal yet on a porch overlooking the city and the ocean below us.  Alas, my camera had run out of batteries so I was left with only the pictures etched in my mind.  Let me assure you, they are the best pictures I have ever taken in my life.  After the meal we ate gelato while watching the sun continue it’s nightly descent as we strolled along the Via dell’Amore…the walk of love!
