Goodbye Cinque Terre

Some of our amazing food!

(above:  the 12 course appetizer at Trattoria 
dal Billy; the whole meal was incredible!
right:  crab with homemade large
linguini at Marina Piccola; Larry was
in culinary heaven!)




(I think this is the only machinery they use for harvesting the grapes 
from the steep terraced vineyards.  We watched them
at work while hiking from Manarola to Corniglia.)

 (How would you like to work in those terraced vineyards?)


(the beautiful grapes of the Cinque Terre)


(While on our hike we ran across this beautiful farmhouse and the 
lovely people living there.  It's hard to tell from the pic, 
but this lady is bottling their squeezed grapes for their
household wine.  They were so sweet to explain what they
were doing using only gestures.)

(le dolce vita)


(just loved this door near our camera)



(although no photograph could do it justice...
the blues of the Ligurian Sea are breathtaking)






























(the view of Manarola from the ferry...our camere is the yellow
building in the middle...how we loved that balcony!)
