Hi Family & Friends! We are in Cinque Terre, Italy. It is the most beatiful city we've visited. Did you know that Cinque Terre is where pesto was invented? Since we've been here we have gone to the beach every day being that we are literally only a block away. We hiked the trail that connects all five communities of Cinque Terre which took us 5 hours! During each stop we recharged for the next trail with some gelto which I believe is one of Italy's finest contributions to the world. My Itialian is still horrible but the locals seem to like when I say hello, goodbye, and one more scoop please. Hope you enjoy the beautiful pictures. Next stop is Venice, Italy. We miss you and love you all.

Ken, we celebrated the 4th of July with some Gelato QUIETLY to ourselves. We miss America!!
