4 APR 13 - Cinque Terre National Park in Italy is comprised of five small villages located along a rugged stretch of coast line along the Italian Rivera. Our favorite town among the three we visited was Vernazza, seen here behind Eve. We wandered up and down the small main street and then enjoyed some amazing pasta at the fortress that overlooks the town.
In October 2011, Vernazza was nearly destroyed after torrential flooding inundated the area. Remarkably, the town has been restored to look as it did before the storm. These narrow little streets as seen behind Grandpa, Eli and Kjersti are pretty similar among all of the towns in Cinque Terre. During the peak summer months, many people will walk along the rugged coastal walking path that connects the towns. We decided to simply take the train from town to town.
When we arrived at Riomaggiore, the rain started coming down, but that didn't stop Eve from striking another super cute pose. The tilting of the head has a direct correlation to overall cuteness. In other words, the more she tilts her head, the cuter she becomes (see Eve Logic: Page 1, section 24).
While we were waiting at the train station at Riomaggiore, Eli came with me and we had a great view of the coastline. Spectacular scenery, terrible weather. :(
They keep the coastal path closed until the summer months. Under these circumstances, I can certainly understand why.
The Vernazza train station. Words just can't explain what's going on here.
