Monterosso

Florence

Pisa

Hope all that light packing doesn't come down on our heads.

First stop, buying some sunnies at a shop next to our apartment.

Crossing the tunnel to meet for dinner the first night.

Pizza!

My idea of a relaxing vacation.

Now that's a relaxing view.

A WWII era bunker looks out on the water.

Inside the bunker. Cozy.

Exploring along the coast.

The remains of the monestary.

Learned about St. Francis thanks to Ashleigh, our guide to all things Catholic.

Contemplating the last apartment I'll ever buy.

Monterosso from above.

Cute shop in Riomaggiore.

Can you see the speck on the hill? That's where they hiked to. Time for some well-earned wine.

Ready for our wine tasting!

The city of Riomaggiore.

I started each day with a smile.

Out on the water. Little did I know that beer was a bad idea...

Enjoying a relaxing 'sail' along the coast.

Ashleigh enjoying some eye candy.

Just look at that blue water!

Enjoying the water, before tearing up his foot...

How to Vacation 101

Beautiful architecture.

Art appreciation--that's one poetic rape.

Stefan channels his inner giant slayer.

That's a lot of statues.

It's Abu Dhabi all over again.

Cleverly cropped to look like we're all alone.

Let's get this one out of the way--the obligatory leaning tower shot!

The cathedral was a surprising treat--very ornate inside!

Ladies and gentleman, probably our most successful selfie to date.

Beautiful marble and rich paintings--this was how I expected the cathedral in Florence to look!

In Italy, if someone tricks you with fake merch, you're the one going to jail apparently.

Found a freakin' awesome bar to watch the Germany game. Great people, great food--loved it!
