bright idea #2

After reviving from our hike, we set out to do a little shopping. Several tourist shops sell food goods grown in the mountainside we hiked through. We thought it would be fun to pick up a few things. 3 bottles of wine, 6 jars of pesto and one T-shirt later, we had to laugh at what consumer whores the Cinque Terra had turned us into.

Not wanting to carry everything with us to dinner, I stupidly suggested we run it all back to our room. Our room is up about 100 steps, through narrow passageways, several switchbacks and a cave like tunnel. Choosing to run back to the room real fast was not a great idea, especially after a 7 mile hike. Stupid, stupid idea...

This is too funny! It seemed to me that somehow I was always traveling uphill much more than downhill in Italy. Like it was some cosmic trick. (Actually, at times I was certain that Uncle L. was responsible.) - Mom
