Ciao!! Writing now from Cinque Terre Italy. Absolutely fabulous. This is our second day here and I think our site seeing has finally come to a close as we are loving just laying out on the beach all day. Cinque Terre means 5 villiages and we are staying in the 5th city (the furthest north and west) called Monterosso. We had plans to visit all 5 but the beach was calling our name. Today Jessy Liz and I all got massages on the beach for 10 euro! It was great. We definately have a b****in tan working for us. Tonight is my final dinner with the crew as I have to catch a train at 9 to Pisa so that I can catch my 7 am flight to Barcelona. I had booked the flight a long time ago and will finally get to meet up with Brian again! I can't freakin wait. All over europe, no matter which way I turn, I see couples holding hands and cuddling on the beach or wherever, and it makes me ultra jealous! I think the others have plans to stay here for a couple more days (one or two?) and then they are taking the 20 hour train ride to Barcelona. It turns out when we first made our schedule no one really took into consideration how long it would take to get from one destination to the other and unfortunately they are going to be missing out on Lagos. I know that will make a lot of you sad as it came so highly recommended, but Phil is really excited to check out all the arch. in Barcelona and not something his is wanting to rush through. Not to mention the train ride to Lagos from Barcelona is 24 hours long!! Luckily Brian and I will definately be going to Lagos, because we have a flight out of Sevilla spain (which is near Lagos Portugal) on July 3rd to go to Greece. Its been a great trip and I am sooo happy I was able to travel with each and everyone of you (to Phil, Tom, Jessy and Liz) I wouldnt trade this group for the world! Absolutely laidback, strangely always on the same page (esp. jess and I, we oddly have A LOT of similar interests in food clothes ect...) and always a riot! Thank you to all that have followed, I will be writing more about my journeys and the others know how to log on if they get a chance to add to the journal entries. Love you all!! Thank you again for all the wonderful messages, it truly makes our day to know you are taking time to follow us. Makes us feel ultra important like movie stars or something. Until later... Ciao Bella! Maria
