This weekend I traveled to Siena and Cinque Terre. Siena is another Tuscan town, about an hour and a half train ride away. The food and views (per usual) are unbelievably beautiful. However, the real highlight of the weekend was Cinque Terre. Literally translated as "five towns", Cinque Terre is a collection of five towns along the Italian Riviera: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The day consists of starting at the first town and hiking the coast, stopping at each town along the way. The landscape and ocean is incredible (as is the pesto, it was created near here). Quick update for now, more to come later.
P.S. my skype name is chris.mario6 if you want to chat
P.P.S. While at Cinque Terre we were hiking on a remote mountain trail. Upon seeing my Boston College t-shirt, a lady stopped me to remind me that they had lost to Notre Dame. A mere 9 hours earlier. Thank you kindly.
P.P.P.S. I could not be more excited for NBA season to start
