Monterroso

After an hour train ride up north, we arrived in Monterroso.  We were very excited to visit Cinque Terre as it was described as a quite little region void of tourist traffic and congestion.  These little villages sit right on the Ligurian coast (aka the Italian Riviera) and are connected by a walking path/hike that has become quite popular over these past 5 - 7 years.  The colorful villages are beautiful and while I felt that they were a little touristy, near the train station, they were very quaint once you step into the tiny streets.  
 Finally arrived

 Finally arrived in the Casa di Limon.  It was a hike up cobble stone pathway.  We were sweating and tired when we arrived but were treated to a glass of their lemon juice.  It was PURa Limon.  I think it took the enamel off of my teeth.  
 Robby just with Monterroso in the back ground
 They had an annual lemon festival while we were there.  We got another shot of their lemon juice the next day.  Wow!  Pura
