We have fallen into the pace of Vernazza. Today was a lovely, lazy day. It was rainy in the morning, so we slept in. We are now in a cozy loft apartment, which has a fantastic balcony that overlooks the sea and the village. We spent some time up on top of the world just gazing out. Then we had lunch at a restaurant called Gianni Franzi. For all of you considering travelling to Vernazza, this is the best meal we have had in any of our travels in Europe. I had penne con scampi, which came out quite authentic--the "prawns" still had their full bodies attached. I will post a picture later.
We then walked our laps through the village (it takes about 10 minutes from the water to the end of the town, so we can do many laps), and we met a number of interesting people. We ran into some folks we met in Gimmelwald, and marvelled at the little world of Rick Steves travelers. We also talked with a chiropractor from Canada and an Indian/caucasian couple from Seattle, with their beautiful daughter in tow. We also had our obligatory pizza and gelato to top off the day. If we come back 25 pounds heavier, you know why.
We have enjoyed our stay in Cinque Terre, and we are looking forward to beautiful Siena tomorrow! Ciao for now.
