Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, Italia

We love this place! Its just gorgeous! It's like taking a step back in time. Cinque Terre (Five Lands), is comprised of (surprisingly), five villages! Beautiful little farming and fishing villages along the rugged Italian coastline all connected by footpaths. No vehicles are allowed in the villages, and apart from quite a few tourists, the area is wonderfully unaffected by modern life and Western ways.

Riomaggiore, one of the villages, was home for the next five days. And though we did some fairly strenuous hiking between the villages, this was chill-out time for us. So, we drank our share of local wines, and ate delicious seafood in the great little restaurants in town. *Mush and Stub
