Quick update, spring break edition

Ciao Bella's! I thought I would write a quick little something about my adventures so far. I'm doing it from my iPhone so please excuse the poor spelling and grammar mistakes (I know you do that on every one of my posts anyways so we're moving on...) I'm writing from the kitchen of our place in Santa Maria Navarrese in Sardinia. In front of me is fresh picked oranges that the owner's parents gave us the first day and a beautiful view of the rocky terrain and blue beaches from the window. We have so far:
-Seen all five towns of the Cinque Terre
-Hiked the high trail from Corniglia to Manorola
-Caught the sunset over the beautiful rainbow of the Manorola buildings
-hung out and ate gelato on the beach of Monterosso
-Saw the incredible reconstruction effort of Vernazza, the town that was destroyed by the October 25, 2011 storms
-walked, walked, and walked some more
- Ate too much pesto, yet not enough
- Saw about 100 dogs and even more cats
- Watched the sun set over the mediterranean with a bottle of wine and pesto pizza
- got caught in Spezia for 5 hours because of the train strike
- Had a 5 star candlelight dinner at the Pisa airport (just kidding... )
-Ate a microwaveable lasagna and salad inside of the Pisa airport
- Traveled by train, plane, bus, AND car (too much for my taste)
- Navigated around Sardinia without anyone knowing any English
- Explored around Santa Maria Navarrese
- Relaxed on the beach and tried to get as much sun as possible

I'll write more detailed posts of each day and place (get pumped) once I get back to Florence but its been a wonderful journey so far and I can't wait to see what the next few days bring!
