Italy...a different kind of love

The third day of my trip and I love Italy more and more each day. Italy is one of those places that you slowly fall in love with each day. I am enjoying getting familiar with the Italian lifestyle and loving the food!
Sara and I have been on the go from the moment I arrived at the train station in Genoa. We have fallen into a routine which includes at least one gelato a day, laying on a different beach each day, and drinking wine (of course) and eating the most delicious bread and pastas. Yesterday, we visited Cinque Terre, 5 small cities along the sea with amazing mountains and cliffs. The views were unbelievable. You could either walk on the trails from city to city (about 5 hours) or take the train. We did a little of both. All in all this place is amazing. I keep thinking of all the people that I would love to have here with me (especially those who enjoy good food like me :). We will be leaving Genoa on Thursday for Bologna and then Ravenna. We hope to make a trip to Venice sometime over the weekend. (at an internet cafe and taking too long to upload picts...will try again later this week)
