It begins in Riomaggiore and ends in Monarola. This portion of the hike is easy, flat with very pretty vistas of the ocean. It is primarily on the coast and is paved. Italy takes very good care of their trails. A lot of effort when in to conserving the Cinque Terra Trail. It brought a lot of tourism into the area. My niece also took some pictures of this little hike. Candice is an artist/poet/photographer and her blog look like a magazine spread. Click<a href="http://mikecandi.blogspot.com/2011/06/via-dellamore.html"> here</a> if you want to see it. It was such a wonderful celebration of love and devotion. <br />
<br />
Some day I will go back with my love and bring a lock. <3<br />

Riomaggiore is the last of the Cinque Terre villages. It was one of my favorites. It is just as colorful and vibrant as the other villages, yet sits further away from the more touristy villages of Monterroso and Vernazza. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The buildings seem to mulitply, sprouting from on top of one another, stacked like legos. The streets were vibrant and full of boats. Not many spoke english as is the case the further you get from touristy areas. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We explored the streets, I spoke to a few people about rooms to stay when I was to return to hike the Cinque Terre. I got a few numbers to call back. In the end I wasn't able to get in a room in the Cinque Terre Villages but instead was able to stay in Porto Venere, a small medieval town built inside a Castle walls just south of Riomaggiore. I was very pleased with the hostel and my stay there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is from Riomaggiore that we took the Via Dell Amore, a hike from Riomaggiore to Monarola. It is a lovers walk and the walls in a tunnel are graffitied with Love letters and Locks are clinked all over chain that borders the pathway where lovers lock there love for eternity. </div>

The Duomo Milano sits right across from the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and both edifices are quite marvelous.<br />
<br />
The businessmen were dressed quite well in their linen suits riding their bicycles around the city. <br />
<br />
For some reason I had this impression that because Milan was the a financial center in Italy it would be more modern than Florence and Siena, yet the buildings were very similar. The streets were crowded however with the hustle and bustle of business.<br />
<br />
I found the people to be just as warm and inviting. I took these pictures with my phone so they are a bit blurry.<br />

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. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsuaO4iuaA5FqpDohKoigch0rADMVx0jz8B-ORZ62-1WKvsos29RhnKolcpAu0Q5O0Xxu0D3PmWtV90PN6MAHFzudA19263DbSfsj-tD3X1flDKskL1vXU6ZN0rcstAGQydImbbNhUpnE/s1600/IMG_8271.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsuaO4iuaA5FqpDohKoigch0rADMVx0jz8B-ORZ62-1WKvsos29RhnKolcpAu0Q5O0Xxu0D3PmWtV90PN6MAHFzudA19263DbSfsj-tD3X1flDKskL1vXU6ZN0rcstAGQydImbbNhUpnE/s400/IMG_8271.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Finally arrived</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizjKXgbM9323ouXQka8S6xPUx93ijLjI-A1p9T6EljrLC5F8dMHMdOMmm2zcfPXOcfxAnVhjhDaajIOWeo_72yTLE2pc_dDVZKrUcJGcpEQih_nkB922SUbbtEUQ6S4uFG67YSXRqhPyE/s1600/IMG_8273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizjKXgbM9323ouXQka8S6xPUx93ijLjI-A1p9T6EljrLC5F8dMHMdOMmm2zcfPXOcfxAnVhjhDaajIOWeo_72yTLE2pc_dDVZKrUcJGcpEQih_nkB922SUbbtEUQ6S4uFG67YSXRqhPyE/s400/IMG_8273.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">stairway in the station in Monterosso</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGSeZ8R5y-U9CtOvUb82nBz7XsCI4qtVsdRI2WOCDKmmuYEp3ECgFe-OKs1ajSgnyizj1DsLwWpAtZ9is_vgm9EYcHzZg11nbWbolHbKIzQjdZHMrlUCIuDP3xeFocnNwTVd-0y7PONg/s1600/IMG_8280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGSeZ8R5y-U9CtOvUb82nBz7XsCI4qtVsdRI2WOCDKmmuYEp3ECgFe-OKs1ajSgnyizj1DsLwWpAtZ9is_vgm9EYcHzZg11nbWbolHbKIzQjdZHMrlUCIuDP3xeFocnNwTVd-0y7PONg/s400/IMG_8280.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Finally arrived in the Casa di Limon.

Pisa is a pretty town made up primarily of college students and of course is famous for it's leaning tower. It was a lovely little city. Our cab driver was interesting to talk to. He made sure we knew that only Italians can be cab drivers in Italy and that a large part of Pisa's population was college students. He is a musician, he played the guitar, and a fan of the blues and jazz. He gave me a heads up on Ponte Venere, one of my favorite spots in Italy. From Pisa we took the train to Monterroso one of the five lands in the Cinque Terra.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My heart is true, through and through to the David. I have a pen and ink sketch of him that I bought in an antique shop seventeen years ago. It is a PG13 sketch of his more modest side. but no matter the side, I have always been a fan of this amazing piece of art. Although I am not a major fan of Italian Renaissance painting, I am whole heartedly a fan of the sculpture and in particular this piece. He represents the perfect representation of man both physically and mentally. He is humble, yet determined. Although his foe is larger and stronger, he is not afraid to face him. He examines his opponent at a distance and is decided about fighting him. He is in a relaxed pose, yet the look in his eyes and the tension in his neck reveal that he understands the dangers he will face and yet he does not turn away, but faces his opponent with courage and hope. I love it. He represents power and humility, strength and cognition, determination and sensitivity. Who wouldn't love such a man.<br />

It wasn't what he was creating, but what was meant to be revealed within the marble itself. He was scrupulous about each piece of marble he would work with, choosing them himself. When visiting the Accademia Gallery, where the David and other sculptures are housed, we saw many of Michael Angelos sculptures that were unfinished and they were beautiful: you could see these perfect beings embedded, as if encased within the marble, waiting to be free. Having the opportunity to see the David was a highlight of the trip.Quarantine Coronacationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07105911000760040564noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439739343163401271.post-27928955686243307282011-06-04T14:06:00.000-07:002011-06-04T14:10:39.297-07:00Bike Tour of Tuscany<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On Wednesday May 18 we embarked upon a bike tour of Tuscany. The entire route which involved a nice long incline to the hilltop town of Chiusdino ended up being just about 12 miles. I was pleased that my knee was able to endure the journey. The views were spectacular. I only hope you might be able to see a fraction of the majesty of those beautiful hillsides and valleys.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMHfalCSUvEl0a3P95P42bhCdYtNnZ_BnVYoBo_TWAvgsJgKqHbzHalR2dtp-S4lpTPqA3tBUMRiBJXvkluJA2MxwHP8YqG0cRjDTnhf8l7QUJ_c2aH2gxbcG-XWEa_Ri1g8ah8zkBfUk/s1600/IMG_8134.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMHfalCSUvEl0a3P95P42bhCdYtNnZ_BnVYoBo_TWAvgsJgKqHbzHalR2dtp-S4lpTPqA3tBUMRiBJXvkluJA2MxwHP8YqG0cRjDTnhf8l7QUJ_c2aH2gxbcG-XWEa_Ri1g8ah8zkBfUk/s400/IMG_8134.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

The bike ride was not a success because the bike that was rented to me had a broken seat and every time I would bare down on my seat to get up a hill the seat would slip up of down--very frustrating, so instead I took a short bike ride around Verena, took a nap and found a nice spot to sit and paint a very mediocre water color. Lily likes it however, so I will finish it up for her to put in her room. The hike on the other hand was wonderful. The forest in the mountains above Lake Como are full of life and sounds. There was nice tree coverage as well so when the sun was out it made for a comfortable hike. I was a bit concerned for my knee as the doctor said that I shouldn't hike on if for a few months, but I couldn't pass up the chance to see the Lake from the elevations above.<br />

While in Milan last Monday, I wanted to go to see La Scala, the famous opera house, and they had a concert going on: Herbie Hancock was playing Gershwin. I racked my brain trying to figure how I could go but had better sense and went back to Como De Lago instead. So when I found a concert in Florence, I purchased the ticket enthusiastically. I have been carrying a dress and heels to wear to such an event since I arrived, but because I changed from the stuffy monastery to the hip hostel, I missed my opportunity to dress up. Instead, I was traversing Florence with my luggage. Luckily I was wearing a skirt and nice shirt because the event was beautiful The performers were Flawless. Perfecto. I purchased their cd. The setting was gorgeous: high ribbed vaulted ceilings made of brick with buttresses, arches and gothic windows. The arts are deeply appreciated and thrive and Florence! The orchestra played Mozart and Dvorak. Spectacular! "La Dolce Vita!" as Adie says. It was a beautiful night.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Despite the fact that I dislike where I am staying... A Monastario Delle Benedettine Di Santa Marta run by nuns, which I am embarrassed to say, kind of creeps me out. I feel like I am in Catholic school and have to watch my Ps and Qs. The nuns seem stern in their habits, and the fact that they bark at me telling me "Venga, VEN, VEN!" I follow promptly wanting to please. I just brings back all these old memories of being in Catholic School where I was afraid to get my knuckles rapped witha ruler, although I have never been in catholic school so don't know where those feelings are coming from. My feelings are a dichotomy actually, a cross between feeling like I am in the abbey in Sound of Music and they are just about to sing "How do we solve a problem like Maria" and those catholic school memories that are coming from who knows where. I would like to change my room/stay for a few reasons...first. the bed is like a sponge and feels like it is as old as the building which dates back to 1342--that in itself is reason enough to want to stay--pretty cool I say, but what building in Florence isn't dated back that far. Another disapproval that I have is that they advertised internet and when I got there--Nope, no wifi--Sorry. Well sorry would be okay if I didn't have to get my reservation # for my Uffizi tickets. So I have spent an hour roaming Florence looking for an internet spot. Luckily I found one next to that great little sandwich shop we ate w/ Freya. The food is good and I can sit for a bit before I go to the Uffizi. so while sitting here and eating my brushetta and drinking a coke, with ICE! he actually served it with ice, he knows hot to cater to americans, and listening to a man play the accordian, I say hello to you. There are free concerts here in Florence and I saw there is one tonight in a museum. This would make my trip complete: a classical concert set in a museo.<br />

I dressed up (because dressy clothes were the only ones that didn't need a good cleaning) and headed to the lavenderia or Laundry. It took me to a little town called La Grazie. La Grazie is on the water and is full of sail boats. After the sun was breaking through so I decided not to delay my hike and I left around 1 pm to La Spezia to get the train to Cornilia. I had already walked the last two towns on the Cinque Terre chain and wanted to hike the last three which are much more challenging. Michael, Robby and Dan took the hike when they were here last week and told me that it would be okay for my knee so off I went. It was beautiful. Rain was always a threat so I hustled through it because I didn't want to be on those rocky paths on the cliffs while it was raining. Lucky for me I made it but for a few sprinkles here and there. These photos were taken with my cell phone. I forgot the cords to my camera so I will post others later. For now this will do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Y-RSkcmKjr1Ivass0r_gCivPDfw1FVadYeu6odAma3Xn-7pJzl6rdaT9JSE6nuHE6ZZCBNR6vXc33pRqJVp136iRG0Jk4UOEg7kPMPgEFQzq73W7m_XrrBftWzc5n674GRloJuv4vVc/s1600/IMG_0226.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Y-RSkcmKjr1Ivass0r_gCivPDfw1FVadYeu6odAma3Xn-7pJzl6rdaT9JSE6nuHE6ZZCBNR6vXc33pRqJVp136iRG0Jk4UOEg7kPMPgEFQzq73W7m_XrrBftWzc5n674GRloJuv4vVc/s320/IMG_0226.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> my view when I woke up this morning.

Did I say I spent two hours on the bus? Did I say that there was no open market in Sarzana. There were very nice people however. I have met some interesting people on the bus but I will share that story another time. I was feeling rather confident about getting around so I thought I would venture off the beaten path today and check out what I hoped would be a flea market with goods made by the people here. Unfortunately that did not occur, however I was pleased with my ability to go somewhere without panic in my heart about communicating and getting lost. I have always found people to be very pleasing and wanting to help the best they can. Enjoy the pics</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Her photos are beautiful. She is an artist. See <a href="http://www.mikecandi.blogspot.com/">http://www.mikecandi.blogspot.com/</a> for an artistic view of what we did on our trip. I can barely keep up with such little internet access. Missing home but enjoying all that there is to offer me, especially the gelato.</div><br />

When Siena found out about Florence's plans, they broke ground to extend their duomo and then Florence reacted to Siena and extended their Duomo. Both cities were beat out by the Duomo in Rome Saint Peters.

If one child is born in one district and another in a different district fist fights may erupt when it comes time for Il Palio-- a horse race held twice a year. Each district is represented by a horse that races around Il Campo (the city center) three times. The winners have definite bragging rights. During the week of Il Palio families are no longer families instead they are loyal only to their districts: best friends will not talk, husbands and wives separate, brothers will throw punches.</div><div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeydTjnLXOnEyjzKha2oA342DDGVlxHMh0521JyvmoPjaDx8YimOxabsn9KwJ9RAtSRUJ1Iz7kYD0-roZnDTsriObTisdCmCkKnC2HuQf8yf8wq_3I-Nwdu9wjfSS20IYlw-9gCAyEaFA/s320/IMG_7971.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607820173527033042" /><br />plaque representing a district</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8uvdys-dWB0053_ajjnJyRuLFL0hb2nCKvJ-Dwle0KbcZJW3TXUP1HylE9RUsk2JGuz2HN1NH2MwI8uxzkw0nwaO8shtMrTvEPwVf-5L3x_Q7vledtD1nep1BHRWIJYQlL-p9AcVxwc/s1600/CONTREG913.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8uvdys-dWB0053_ajjnJyRuLFL0hb2nCKvJ-Dwle0KbcZJW3TXUP1HylE9RUsk2JGuz2HN1NH2MwI8uxzkw0nwaO8shtMrTvEPwVf-5L3x_Q7vledtD1nep1BHRWIJYQlL-p9AcVxwc/s320/CONTREG913.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608050725032512274" /></a><br /><div>Il Palio<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5r51hj0jPFOKEEB8UNqhZlW-Wwtpuqv9-y7-St3WJrlclfyLF8G5b6ep0cMdo_6sNqBD-3657l3qEN76zNbCIGA2x289Kf9-yyUH75F3DRsylTsYrE4Ucp9R9ogF3lGwsLm94gV-F8CQ/s1600/IMG_7967.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5r51hj0jPFOKEEB8UNqhZlW-Wwtpuqv9-y7-St3WJrlclfyLF8G5b6ep0cMdo_6sNqBD-3657l3qEN76zNbCIGA2x289Kf9-yyUH75F3DRsylTsYrE4Ucp9R9ogF3lGwsLm94gV-F8CQ/s320/IMG_7967.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607833699835679234" /></a></div></div><div>Il Campo<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXOdHh9D-drxOQYNE0rLQMpFzaNAaZgp2aW0wrqbizd3qnzX94adM4D1btpnyCD9xapy9d01LpwiHHpSQmByWNq3uNzom6HdNrGVWIRZupX6Vep_MBlKXxTJbC_pUZ4Lxg71KejCaFvQM/s320/IMG_7951.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607837012399617330" /></div><div>Il Campo</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIFplZu9gBBOkUqPo3WPG2pv1-MbOMuDTcLJx1Lj06J_oPpF9a_UfAKGCSleHirGAn1nNLQGaNvXCgOND2FA2Bav9I-rzXG2NmL-xMtYuP27kv2kjwOdPkbmlOFxChfOnoBsbwbfcFLWw/s1600/IMG_7939.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height:320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIFplZu9gBBOkUqPo3WPG2pv1-MbOMuDTcLJx1Lj06J_oPpF9a_UfAKGCSleHirGAn1nNLQGaNvXCgOND2FA2Bav9I-rzXG2NmL-xMtYuP27kv2kjwOdPkbmlOFxChfOnoBsbwbfcFLWw/s320/IMG_7939.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607838869323009186" /></a><div><div>Look Lunch--Squab was on every menu in Florence and Siena.

Why you ask? If you ask you probably live in the likes of Minnesota, Utah, Idaho, Illinois, or any other winter laden landscape. But here in Southern California, we have amazing skies in January. The rains bring those cumulous clouds with their depth and moodiness.

So if I get the urge, if I feel I miss the snow of my youth and want to treat my kids to a bit of the Frosty, i can head up to the mountains to experience it and then come back down the hill to green grass and flowers.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHxJklIDgcmdeFqEjgd-tSr14SWde0X8Xs5uIAXF8p8_3p02cYvgcNq9XBflwamOiWD0SAB5idirvphDQX8JU-TNsVBYdqhJwOFwd3VeIJBZQeZ5-jRePDlM70x6QjckkvB_MLV2oXg8/s1600/220337302.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHxJklIDgcmdeFqEjgd-tSr14SWde0X8Xs5uIAXF8p8_3p02cYvgcNq9XBflwamOiWD0SAB5idirvphDQX8JU-TNsVBYdqhJwOFwd3VeIJBZQeZ5-jRePDlM70x6QjckkvB_MLV2oXg8/s400/220337302.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558809340724611010" /></a>Yesterday our plans to hike the wilderness loop in Claremont were thwarted due to a closure of the park.

We had just been stretched, and wringed, and limbered in a yoga class. however, we did at least have our trails shoes on.
