"I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things... Read not the Times, read the Eternities." -- Henry David Thoreau ... grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference ...."The truth is that there is nothing noble about being superior to someone else. The only nobility is in being superior to your former self." ~Whitney Young (1921-1971)

CINQUE TERRE - ITALY
~ the width of the trail at points ~
~ Where we began, Monterosso, the first of the 5 fishing villiages of Cinque Terre ~
~ The second villiage, Vernazza from the North as we approached ~
~ Vernazza, from the South as we were leaving ~
~ More Veranazza ~
~ Entering the first villiage ... ~
~ Corniglia in the distance, and 2 others behind it. We didn't make it to the last 2 because an avalanche had closed the trail, but just to hike between the 3 we saw (and stop for lunch) took an entire day, and then we were off to NeuChatel, Switzerland.
~ ... the sun as it rose over Monterosso ... ~
~ ... and as it set over Corniglia. ~
~ This cart winds like a roller coaster through the cliffs and grape orchards - apparantly it's used to collect the fruit. Who knew? Tragically, we couldn't figure out how to get it started. ~
