Hiking through Cinque Terre

Yesterday, we spent the whole day hiking through Cinque Terre.  Cinque Terre is iconic Italy.  There are 5(cinque) towns(terre) that are tucked away in different parts of the western coast line of Italy and you can get to all of them by hiking through the trails.  All of them are small towns with colored houses, narrow ally ways, and have views that are out of this world!   It was quite the hike and we were exhausted by the end, but come December, I'm bound to have legs of steel.
 I hope this picture doesn't make anyone too jealous (those in Michigan)   :)
 The second town that we hiked to, it truly is beautiful...the nice weather obviously helps with that too.
 Our seafood lunch/dinner that we had.  Everything is caught fresh daily from the coast.  I tried stuffed mussels for the first time, which were great!
 There is something that is so empowering about the sky and sea!  One of the best sunsets I have seen.
 Just about everywhere in Europe, lovers will fix a lock on a fence or bridge, symbolizing that their love will never break apart.
Even the rocks are beautiful.  I think rocks are my new favorite part of nature.
