Italy Vernazza Pictures

Update from Jeff & Brenda:

Our trip has culminated in Vernazza, one of the little villages that cling to the rugged Italian coast. This is an amazing place. Many of the houses are hundreds of years old, but are still lived in. The peeling paint and stone walls add a special character. The streets are too narrow for cars, so people here have to do a lot of walking. Or, maybe we should say "stepping". There is more steps in this village than anywhere we have ever been. Thousands of stone steps, most of them placed by hand hundreds of years ago. Imagine our luggage bouncing up and down hundreds of steps. Then image us throwing that same luggage off that deck into the ocean. Tempting, huh?

As you can see, the weather was pleasant. Sunny, but not too hot. Along with the beautiful Mediterranean Sea water and it is truly an ancient paradise. Ahhh, what a way to end our trip.

We hope you have enjoyed following our experiences in Europe. This is our last entry. Ciao!
