Cinque Terra & Portofino

This weekend I traveled around the Italian Riviera. It was a very relaxing weekend and I really just spent the whole time hiking, exploring, taking pictures and shopping. One of the small towns that we went to, San Fruttuoso, was reachable only by boat. It had a very small beach, an old Monastery and one restaurant. My favorite town was Monterosso, which is the largest of the five towns known as Cinque Terra. I also really enjoyed Portofino, I saw some of the largest yachts ever there and, there was some kind of huge wedding going on and all the men were in these great kilts. There was also a really cool path that took us up to the lighthouse and gave us a great view of the ocean. The water is really clear and an amazing blue color where it's deep.
