Cinque Terre

They weren't lying when they said this place is paradise. I am in Riomaggiore right now and have been for the past few days. Its so sos ossossooss sooooooooo beautiful!!! I am here with Kyle and Mallory but tonight is their last night. Its ok though because yesterday I made a friend from Montreal who is staying in my hostel. His name is Simon. Very nice... very cool... and a complete gentlemen. Those Canadians raise their children right.
Everything is relatively cheap here... this place is famous for its Focaccia bread and pesto... and I have eaten ample amounts of both. There is a very cool beach, relaxed vibe here... It is very laid back. Today we are walking to some of the other towns to see new beaches... I have laid on the beach for the past 2 days... its so nice... and it is a topless beach... but I didnt participate... haha
The water is so clear and blue... and its not too salty.. its lovely... and the first day on the beach I looked up to see 2 dolphins jumping across the near horizon following a boat... it was INCREDIBLE! I really love this place.... Oh and I met a cute boy from Brazil who is studying Italian in Bologna and I had a conversation in Italian with him. He said I was the first American who even tried to speak Italian and that he was impressed.
Last night a big group of us climbed out onto a jetty of rocks... watched the sunset.... and then watched for shooting stars... it was incredible.. my idea of a perfect evening... pics coming soon....
