February 9

Today was that all about taking a step back. Taking a step back to let it soak in that I was hiking along the Mediterranean; to appreciate that I was spending the day in the national park of Cinque Terre; to slow down to enjoy the renowned local seafood and pesto; to let the National Geographic worthy views sink in. And, quite literally, to step back from the rocky cliffs that made up the trails. Cinque Terre, a northern city made up of 5 towns of colorful homes and beaches, is worthy of a Google Image search. Pronto. Days like today make posting just one photo difficult! What a wonderful problem to have.
