Day 3... Your luggage is on the way?

It's Thursday, day 3 11:30am in Vernazza, I'm sitting on a stairway on a narrow cobble stone street across from a little pizza place."Pizza Altaglio Focacceria" it smells and looks amazing. A train just arrived and a new batch of people are strolling through the town, smiling and so happy to be here. I have to agree with them, this place is great! Even the locals still seem to appreciate it here. It's about 75 degrees with a cool breeze off the ocean. Perfecto!

We're still waiting for our luggage to arrive. Although it's frustrating and I have a few moments of anger and aggravation, you really can't stay mad here. In the big picture, it's a simpler life here, they do things differently and I have to respect that, it's just the way it is. People are very relaxed with very little if any conflict.

Yesterday we planned on taking a hike to the next village over, but we hung out in Vernazza, at the beach, and took a small hike up the mountain sides you see in the background. At the top there is a cemetery, sounds creepy, but it was really a neat concept, I'll explain later.. Enjoy the new pictures to the left where it says more pictures, click that.. Off to eat that tempting pizza!!

Great write ups. And great pix.
Too bad about luggage but as I sent to Steve, who cares when you can go buy new stuff. [Lynda and Allison say Thank You. 'Grazie'] Prego from KO.
Keep the news coming. Also I hope the wine tastings are going well.
