Beach day! A little cloudy at first but ended up perfect. We layed out there for 7 hrs. Much needed break.

Neat old sign

And again at our favorite wine shop -- this time we had brandy because I am trying to nip a nasty cold in the butt
And the wine shop in the daylight
Grape vines on the start of our hike to Vernazza, the next town over. Of course this is the toughest of all of the hikes that connect the 5 towns
Lots of rock stairs....
Over 750 rock stairs is what we were told
But the view of Monterosso is worth it.
