La dolce far niente

In celebration of our 15th wedding anniversary we left the kids behind for a 5-day trip to the Italian Cinque Terre on the Ligurian coast. The plan was to eat, hike, relax, and enjoy a true vacation.

Monterosso was our home base 

From there footpaths connected the five villages of the Cinque Terre

 Corniglia is perched on a clifftop

We took the stairs for a man and a woman that led to the place where you point at the water 

Yikes it was a lot of steps!

We passed terraced vineyards for local wine

that we consumed by the liter at enotecas and restaurants

with antipasti

and all manner of

delicious 

 pasta

that were not shared with the house pets 

On our way home we stayed overnight in Florence to see some of the Renaissance art 

and relics,

overmuscled statues 

 serpentine! 

and swaddled putti
