Rainy crypts, castles, and so much foccacia

The rain continues.  Its okay, though.  This keyboard is really annoying. I cant find the apostrophe key and it bothers me a lot. Anyway, cinque terre is the birthplace of foccacia and pesto. It shows. or I should say, it smells. I wish I could transmit smell through pictures. Yesterday, we both had this pesto foccacia pizza that was easily the best pizza Ive ever had.  It rocked. 

We didnt get to go hiking today because the trails were closed due to the rain, so we took the train to Monterosso and hiked up to the cemetery on top of a mountain instead.  It was really interesting to see all of the marble crypts and the views from the top of the mountain were outstanding.  Its our 4th day, and weve taken 300 pictures already, and some priceless video clips from Bugnara. 

My new favorite word is "piccolo/a."  I say it whenever I get the chance, including when it makes absolutely zero sense at all.  It means "little" or "small" btw.  It is a fun word.  I find myself adapting more and more to the Italian as we go on.  Its hard not to adapt to it. 

Lets see, what else happened that was hilarious.  Oh, Im not sure if stacey mentioned this yet, but our room is up a bajillion stairs.  We"re technically on the fourth floor, but I think we have about 75 ginormous steps to climb to get to our room.  It is a hike in itself.  hm. well. I must go now because this is costing us as I type.  Ciao!
