VACATION BUSYNESS

Before we are getting too deeply into fall, some memories about one of our vacations/holidays.
Vacation is to “rest or relax” supposedly. In the past it often reverted to “do another activity,” because I’m not interested in resting. I do that every night:) Also, I don’t need to “find myself.” All that is needed is to look in the mirror, and wow, I found myself, easy-peasy. You probably get the drift.

Am interested in travel, but that’s not always relaxing, lol.
But this day on our get away to Cinque Terre, we took it easy, meaning eating and sipping Tonic (in Europe it’s popular to drink it like a 7-up – without the alcohol of course) while sitting on a shaded patio
Once in a while got up to take a photo, and passing the time with doing this watercolor – kind of like an artistic selfie.

I think, I had five desserts that day and greasy unhealthy food:):) This day probably cost me 3 months to get back on track health wise.

 

One can only visit Cinque Terre by train, bus or boat.  These are 5 little darling towns on the NW coast of Italy, very close to France.

The third of the five towns of Cingue Terre is Corniglia.
coming out of the train one has this view.
I saw “something” moving. When I saw it again,
I asked hubs if he saw it too.

Then we both had this epiphany: these little dots
may be people, and if they are people,
it will take an awful long time
to go up into town!
That moment I turned around. I know I’m a wimp.

 

Doors on the Left of the building

 

Balcony doors on the right on the 2nd and 3rd story, although it’s hard to see – the 3rd story also could be a window …what do you think?

 

All the way to the right you see tourists descending the stairs. I felt for the people living there. No privacy, only in winter when there were no tourists.
