You have missed out on so much

I am afraid to say it is my own fault, but you really have missed out on amazing sights. Since my last post I have been to a Palace and the Cinque Terre. Both were incredible wonders of Italy. The Cinque Terre is classically Italian and I think it is becoming more common in movies. It is located in the top curve of the boot and is actually 5 towns (hence cinque terre, now you too know Italian). Each of them is populated by 2,000 Italians and seems like 2,000 tourists effectively double the size of the town during the summers. All of the towns are connected through a well-kept path and to walk between the furthest two towns would take about 5 hours. The cities are some how built on top of the sea and it makes for gorgeous pictures.
While Scott went scuba diving (I couldn't because certification was necessary this early in the season as they didn't run out novice diving tours just yet.) Although Scott saw great things under water I had the close encounter with dangerous sea creatures...
We had a great time, but I have lots of stories to share and not enough time right now. I will post again later tonight or at the very least tomorrow.
