Uno Terre





Today, Carol and I managed to take in one of the Cinque Terre towns. We had originally planned to do more, but no one told us how hot and crowded it was going to be. In the end, we did a complete tour of Vernazza. This is a town that is owned and managed by cats. Lots of them. During the day, the cats sit around and act normal. At night, when the town shuts down, it’s the cats who count the daily receipts and hand out bonuses to the human inhabitants… I’m pretty sure this is how it works.

Meanwhile, Bruce and Carla went to Genoa to pick up their car and then head up to San Remo for the day where they had a great time and wonderful lunch on the beach. We all had dinner together tonight at a restaurant recommended by Rick Steves. Our waitress said he was very nice. She didn’t say the same about us, but I think she was just being shy. Tomorrow, the four of us are heading back to Cinque Terre and this time we hope to knock them all off our list.
