Hi first grade!
I feel like I haven't written to you in so long! Chocolate and I got very busy with school work. In the next week, I will finish classes. I can't believe my time in Perugia is coming to an end. This weekend we took a break and traveled to Cinque Terra. Cinque Terra is five little costal towns in the north of Italy. We traveled by train and stayed in Vernazza. It was beautiful! When we first arrived we went to sit on the beach and walked towards the trail to take in the view.
On Saturday, we hiked to the next town. We were told it was an hour and a half hike. It took us four hours to get to Monterossa! It was very steep and many of the paths have been washed away because of rain. In 2011, Cinque Terra had a terrible flood that created many landscapes. The amount of rain they normally get in a year, they had in two hours! It is still a beautiful place but they are constantly rebuilding the place.
Although, I don't like to hike... the views were breathtaking!
Once arriving in Montesorra, we had lunch and of course, gelato! I even found a necklace to remember my time in Italy. At the end of the day, we didn't want to hike back so we took a ferry back.
It was Chocolates favorite part of the trip. We sat right at the front so we could see everything and even got spritzed with water. Next weekend we are traveling to an island off of Sicily! Can't wait to share pictures.
