Oh what a beautiful day! Cinque Terre

Words cannot describe how beautiful, fantastic, perfection ( but still no toilet seats ....) and the food!!!!!
We actually got to sleep in this morning. Awoke at eight and then read for half an hour !!! Talk about decadent!!! Had breakie and then we headed off to Levanto which is one town over to the north ( I think) and wandered around with new friends Mary  and Jon from Fargo North Dakota   They had been there before and Mary, who is a fantastic jeweller wanted to go back to check out this great bead and pottery store she had been to at that time. Of course I could not decline the invitation to join them so the four of us headed out on our adventure.  We bought train tickets not having a clue what to do  we muddled through and made it through all the pick pocket threats and wandered the streets looking for this shop. Don't know how we did it but our muddling paid off and they found it!!!... And did we have fun!
Girls had fun and boys lounged outside under the shade of a big tree waiting for us.  We were awhile!
We had a beautiful lunch at an outside cafe and then back in the 'mugger central' train and headed past Monterosso ( where our hotel is) and  headed for Vernazza.  Holy cra-!!!!!picture post card scrumptious.  Did I say I love it here?
We checked out the marina and then took the ferry back to Monterosso.  Bill went sunbathing if course on the sands of the Mediterranean....how cool is that!
I visited with sue and terry and had show and tell!
Jon made reservations at a beautiful restaurant on top of a cliff.  What a view!  Spectacular!
Our day ended with , of course sidewalk gelato !!!!!yum

Off to Switzerland tomorrow!  Supposed to be sunny again!
I have to go I am falling asleep while typing and my spellcheck is having a field day!!!
Love and hugs
Deb
