Today we are headed to Monterosso on the Cinque Terra.  Our stop for lunch was up on the Umbrian hilltop of Orvieto, Italy.  We were on our own for lunch, some chose to have a picnic lunch and others chose to eat at local eateries. 

We were sad before....

Today was our vacation day from our vacation.  We slept in, dropped off laundry, and headed down to the beach to relax in the warm sun - rent a lounge chair it's so worth the price.

The view of the beach in Monterosso.

beautiful town. Definitely a place to come back to.

Tonight was an optional group dinner which I think everyone decided to do.  For like 20 Euro we had dinner at this place called the Castillo which was perched on the highest point in Vernazza - the only challenge was walking up about 200 steps to get there!!!  The views were spectacular! 
 
Andy Steves and his friend Alex met up with us again; it's such a small world!!!
