And we went to Cinque Terre this weekend, on the excellent advice of several Italian-traveled friends. It is such a pretty place! We hiked through the five towns, took pics, ate yummy seafood and drank the local wine. We found a little apartment through the usual Doug and Kara method - which means we Googled & TripAdvisored it up on the train over Saturday morning. Then got lucky and found a big apartment that our new friend, Marchela, rents out by the week. We only wanted it for the weekend, and it happened to be free! Our lucky day.
A lovely part of the trip was talking the train to the farthest town, buying a bottle of wine and drinking it from plastic cups on the beach. We are classy, we know. It helped that some nice Asian foot massage ladies were walking around, and for 10 euro they gave each of us long, baby oil foot massages. Delightful! Really the best thing to do on the beach, I've now decided.
All in all, it was a terrific trip and we would go back in a second. Especially if it was warm, because we missed out on the sea swimming! We are
hoping Capri will be sunny. And perhaps Dougbee will get a tiny swimsuit, to boot!
Love you sistie. I think if Dougby does get a tiny suit it should be bright, like a fruit. Looks like ya'll are having a great time. Ya'll is a new and important part of my vocabulary.
