Down the coast of Italy

Well, after we left Turino we made our way south to the coast. We stayed at Riogamorie one of the five towns that make up Cinque Terre. Yesterday we had a full day there and walked from our town all the way along the coast to the fifth town. I think it might be about 10km between them. It was a little cloudy yesterday and the sea was really rough so we could not get in but it was almost a blessing since we were doing so much hiking. I was very proud of my mom though because she made it all the way to the last town. The trail was not an easy flat path, we went up and down and up and down some more.
Today we left and on our way to Florence we stopped at Pisa. We all took a turn holding up the Leaning Tower. Now we are just doing some laundry and chilling out tonight before we have another big day of sightseeing. We have reservations to see the David tomorrow.

On a side note: Out of all of Europe Italy has been the one country that I have wanted to visit and now I am here. I have eaten pasta in Italy and eaten chocolate in Italy and best of all I have eaten gelato (ice cream) in Italy. They are in every corner and we cannot help but to have it atleast once a day. Of course, my favorite is chocolate gelato but I always try to get a second flavor of something different. But I have compared the ice cream at each place we go and it is all good. I cannot decide which is best. So I will have to continue my search for the best gelato throughout Italy and I will let you know when I find it. And hopefully when we go home I will not be as big as a cow from all the gelato.

Ciao for now
