Cinque Terre (5 lands) is a magical little strip of land on Italy's west coast. The water is clear and cool and so inviting after hiking to each of the towns. Even with the throngs of Italian tourists, we had a great time. 
To break up the drive we stayed with our friend Jessica who has a great little Tuscan appartment not far from the area.
This was just the first course!
Anyone want to go swimming?
Check out his kitchen skillz!
A little view of the pregnant tummy, for any who might be interested.
Enlarge this one to really get the beauty.
This one would also be better if enlarged.
Little local girls.
