MY RUN THROUGH CINQUE TERRE, ITALY

I was in Italy a few weeks ago on business and went on a run from the village of Monterosso to the village of Vernazza. It goes over a mountain between the two villages. Cori and I did this as a hike during our honeymoon and I decided to run it this time. Here are my photos.


The Ligurie Sea under Monterosso.




A small church on the way up the mountain


St. Francis (San Francisco's patron Saint)


A small cemetary on the mountain side




























My reward - grappa in the setting sun.

Great pics of your run through Italy! When you go on trips like this, how do you find these types of running routes?

I usually "explore" cities by running and I just go where it looks good. This one was recommended to Cori and I by my sister as a nice hike for our honeymoon. Coincidence that almost a year later I was back near there on business so I decided to run it.
