Getting Spoiled

Last night Amanda and the boys made us dinner! We are utilizing our little kitchen. It was good. Two bags of pasta, two loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, and one block of cheese later I had a restful, sleep. Here it's a little noisy, so I listen to Zoe Keating or Claude Debussy to put me to sleep. This morning we got up, a little late I must admit, put on swimsuits and tennis shoes and hiked across four of the five towns of Cinque Terre. It was really rough on my knee, but so worth it. Once we got to Vernazza we found the marina and rented a boat for two hours. We took it out and spent some time snorkeling and swimming. I had one of those "Am I Really Here Right Now?" moments. Kind of like my first date with Joshua. Haha! :)
This place is beautiful. I love the water. And looking up at the coast from the boat and knowing that I climbed all those mountains. Tonight James and Anan are taking us girls out for a group date. They're crashing with us in Cinque Terre and dinner tonight is their way of thanking us for taking them in. We've all had so much fun here. Tomorrow morning our train leaves at 4:30! Keep praying for our safety, please. Home in less than a week...
