It's a hard-knock life for us...

Here is a list of the awful things that we've had to endure while in Cinque Terre:

1. Getting sunburned while lying on a sandy beach looking out at the Mediterranean, with majestic cliffs in the background.

2. Getting sunburned again while on a boat riding between the five villages of the Cinque Terre.

3. Dancing on the beach at a party under the stars until 2am, while an Italian DJ played awful but hilarious cover songs, such as the Russian version of "I Will Survive."

4. Running into our five new Italian friends at noon, and having them call us out on just waking up.

5. Having to order four courses at dinner (which began at 10pm) and watching our skinny Italian girl friends devour every morsel and calorie without a thought.

So after reading this list, I hope you feel sorry for us. It's been hard. In all seriousness, this place is amazing, and we hate to leave. We feel really blessed to be able to experience this. But now we have connections with the mayor and his weekend commuter friends, so if you ever want to wine and dine by the ocean in Italy, we'll hook you up.

We'll post more details later! Until then...more pictures at the bottom for your enjoyment.
