Cinque Terre – Music. Life. Joy.

The perfect gelato

It seems the spotty internet at our Airbnb is why I can’t easily upload photos and videos, so the full story of where we are and what we’re doing will wait until we get back to strong wi-fi land.

Meanwhile, my goal will be to share just one photo a day.

So, today we took the train to Vernazza — another one of the Cinque Terre. After visiting a beautiful 14th century church and walking around the harbor, we were finally ready to have our first Cinque Terre gelato.

Imagine our delight when we realized that we were standing directly in front of Amore Mio Gelato. Too perfect!

Starting to feel excited

For our Friday date night this week, we rather randomly watched a light romcom movie that was set in Rome.

The movie itself was nothing exceptional, but…! Not only was it in Italy, much of the dialogue was spoken in Italian (real Italian) with subtitles.

It’s amazing how homesick I feel for Europe in general and Lugano in particular, especially not having been there in almost four years.

Adding to my growing the anticipation is the fact that we’ll be visiting Cinque Terre, for my first time!
