Day 13 of a 22 Day Adventure in Italy
Today we explored the famed coastal region of Cinque Terre. Below in quotes is a short description borrowed from the Internet.
“Cinque Terre is a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. In each of the 5 towns, colorful houses and vineyards cling to steep terraces, harbors are filled with fishing boats and trattorias turn out seafood specialties along with the Liguria region’s famous sauce, pesto. The Sentiero Azzurro cliffside hiking trail links the villages and offers sweeping sea vistas.”
After Cinque Terre we all geared up for our fancy dinner at Villa Riviera’s Aria Ristorante. Although we’ve been eating Chef Matteo’s breakfast and lunch menu throughout the week this is our first chance to experience his 7-course tasting menu. It was everything as advertised.
Quite a day to remember!
