Cinque Terre

We arrived in Monterroso yesterday. I was impressed and said to Arrigo "can we please, pretty please stay here an extra night and just forfeit one night's accommodation in Florence?" He quickly convinced me that although Cinque Terre is beautiful, two nights is enough. Cinque Terre is a tourist trap and expensive anyway, so let's save our money so we can buy things in Florence. We leave for Florence tomorrow. Back to Cinque Terre. Today we went for a hike, a very tiring hike to Vernazza and Corniglia. The tough hike wasn't for the faint of heart, but is well worth the sweat. The views were beautiful. I was taking pictures like they were going out of style. Arrigo must have been thinking "mama Mia, what you take all these pictures for?" When we got to Vernazza, we shopped around a bit, but didn't buy anything, but we did have a gelato. Next stop...Corniglia in an hour and a half. Not again. I didn't sign up for this! When we arrived in Corniglia, the sweat was worth the trek. Another beautiful village of Cinque Terre. I wish I could share my pictures with you, but I can't figure out how to upload my pictures to Picasa. When I try to add pictures to my blog, it doesn't give me the option of choosing a picture from my photo gallery. I can only add from a URL, my blog (that's a pretty stupid selection, since I am TRYING to add them to my blog), or I can choose to add pictures from Picasa.
