I have mentioned it previously on my blog but I will restate this fact. Studying abroad is not easy. You have to eat new foods, drink new drinks and you are forced to travel to far off lands. Unfortunately I was forced to revisit cinque terre. Like I said being abroad is not easy.
The Trial up the mountain
Our over night trip to Cinque Terre with ISA was one of our ISA excursions and I wasn't about to complain that ISA was making me return to Cinque Terre. There are worse things in this world. This trip to Cinque Terre was slightly different seeing that I was with 30 other American student. I didn't do much the first day I was there. However on the second day I was recruited to be honorary male presence on a hike to vernazza. It was ten girls and me on this hike (there were only 4 guys on the cinque terre trip) I issued a no nagging policy before we hit the trail.
The hike we made was the only part of the Cinque Terre trails that Marcus and I didn't get to conquer while we were there. So it was all new to me, and it was an awesome section of trail. Wonderful views, slightly challenging at some points and the no nagging policy was not violated. So nobody got pushed off a cliff. We reached Vernazza which is the most famous of the five towns in about 2 and a half hours. We had lunch and relaxed in the Marina. To end the day we caught a ferry back to monterosso. It was an awesome experience. The weather was good and scenery was exceptional. What you expect from Cinque Terre.
Sweet foot bridge
I also got another chance at some Cinque Terre wine. My recommendation: if you can find it in a store BUY IT. I have enjoyed the wine from Cinque Terre. TIP: don't look for a bottle that says: Cinque Terre, look for one that has a name of one of the five towns (riomaggore, manrola, vernazza, cornliga, monterosso) and you can't go wrong. I should be back in Cinque Terre next weekend, possibly meeting some old friends there. Again; studying abroad is tough stuff.
doing my thang
Prague post coming soon. Also I’m still deciding on where to go this weekend. I have narrowed it down to Interlaken Switzerland, Trent Italy, or day trips in Tuscany. If you have a suggestion drop me a comment.
Behind Blue eyes- The Who
Throwing up this song for 2 reasons. I'm sure my followers over the age of 30 are getting sick of my new age hip hop, and mixed genre posts. So this is for my faithful over thirty. Also I say a guy playing this song in the metro in Barcelona. (guess who got some euro tossed his way!)
