Hello to all! Unfortunately we all had to say good bye to Maria last night and it hasn't quite been the same since. She is off to Barcelona a little ahead of the rest of us. Hopefully her and Brian will have a blast and leave their footprints in the sand for us! As for the four that refuse to leave Cinque Terre, we decided to hike the five cities today. Though it was a sweaty five hour hike through all the towns and mountains, the views were amazing!!! Not only did we get to see the towns (like in the picture) we also got to see vineyards, the rocky beach, beautiful flowers, really cool trails (and yes maria even some graffitti)! Sounds like we're heading off to the HUGE bonfire on the beach tonight and watching fireworks. I guess the town all donates wood to the bonfire and there's even a boat under there! Hope everyone is doing very well! I send my love to all of you! Liz
