cinque terre

Hi folks,

Yesterday we hiked along the trails that connect the Cinque Terre, stopping to swim, eat gelato and drink beer at various beautiful overlooks. Our favorite place is Vernazza, where we swam and explored the cliffs and rocks for hours>:



On the hardest section between monterossa and Vernazza we bumped into some Punahou friends. Jack-s teacher and waterpolo coach Paul Hamamoto was hiking with his family right along with us. His older daughter was in Jay-s class in 6th grade. Fun coincidence and it was great to see them, though they were in a hurry and moved ahead of us since they had a big itinerary including the hike, then Pisa, then Florence, all in one day.รน

We were happy to take it slow.

Another one we liked was Corniglia:



Shari and I swam at 3 of the 5 towns, and we held hands on the Lovers Walk at the end. A nice end to a special day.
