| We started up north in Cinque Terre, a group of 5 cities that are super close together (7 miles from beginning to end). This is the town we stayed in, Vernazza. |
A close up shot (taken from the trail above the city). |
 |
 |
| This is the terrace at our hotel. |
The inside of our hotel - old and new mixed together. And Marsha. |
 |
 |
| The steps up to our hotel (the yellow building in the back). |
View of the main square from our steps. |
 |
 |
| There are lots of cats around. |
The main square. |
 |
 |
| Dad and Marsha at the beginning of our hike. Apparently the bird really wanted to be in the picture too. |
Starting out on the trail to the next city, Corneglia. |
 |
 |
| More trail. |
A sneak peak at Corneglia. It was still about an hour away. |
 |
 |
| Another shot. |
Close up shot. |
 |
 |
| Some foxy ladies on the trail. |
Corneglia. This is how you get to the stores and restaurants and stuff. Understandably, we missed it the first time we walked past it. |
 |
 |
| View of the next town, Manarola. |
View of Manarola from the train station. At least I think it's Manarola, but the cities are all starting to look the same by now. |
 |
 |
| Manarola? Whatever, it's cool. |
Marsha and I, defying death by standing on a grate that is like 300 feet above the water. Eek. |
 |
 |
| The water |
"Via Dell'Amore" - the trail to Riomaggiore from Manarola |
 |
 |
| Funny-looking rocks |
Riomaggiore |
 |
 |
| The harbor in Riomaggiore |
Oooh, how romantic |
 |
 |
| Enjoying some Cafe Americanos |
Enjoying some vino (now in Rome) in the piazza in front of the Pantheon |
 |
 |
| Trevi Fountain |
St. Peter's Basilica |
 |
 |
| Close-up of the Colonnade |
Colosseum. For some reason every picture I've ever taken of it looks like it was taken in the 70's (even from the last time I was in Rome with a different camera) |
 |
 |
| Some sexy half-Italian in the Colosseum |
The sub-level of the Colosseum where they used to keep the animals and slaves and gladiators before the games (and before the floor deteriorated) |
 |
 |
| Building in the Roman Forum |
Another one |
 |
 |
| More forum stuff |
Can't get enough |
 |
 |
| Side angle of the Government Building, my favorite building in Rome |
Now the front of it |
 |
 |
| Trevi in the day |
Me in the day |
 |
 |
| Back in Paris, at the Eiffel Tower |
We also took a side trip to Bruges (in Belgium) |
 |
 |
| More Bruges |
And more |
