So this weekend was quite an adventure. We went with the whole USAC group to the Italian Rivera. We arrived Thursday afternoon in Santa Margarita and spent the day there walking around and checking out the nice ocean setting. We stayed in a very nice hotel with the group that was right near the beach. We were free for the afternoon and spent our time at the beach. The next day, we took a boat to Portofino and toured an old castle and looked around the cute ocean town. When we were done with the group, six of us, Brittagna, Susan, Erica, Shelby, Julie and I, took a train to Monterosso, the first of the five cities in the cinque terre. We stayed in a cute little apartment that was right next to all the night life. We had a wonderful sea food dinner on the beach and then had a fun night out in Monterosso. The next day we got up early to start our hike of the cinque terre. Unfortunately, when we got to the ticket booth, they informed us that the trail was closed because it was raining. So we got a train ticket to go to all of the towns for 1 euro. Well little did we know at the time, we got on the wrong train and ended up in Pisa! When we got there, it was a crazy down poor and we just had to make our way to the leaning tower of Pisa. So we got some umbrellas and headed out to the tower. It was awesome! Even though it was raining like crazy, we made the best of it and took the famous pictures of us holding up the leaning tower. After we had our fun, we took the train back to Monterosso and were able to hike the first trail until it ended. We had a very successful weekend and it will be a trip that I will never forget!
