Cinque Terre and Pisa
We spent yesterday at Cinque Terre, located on the Mediterranean. What a beautiful place! Cinque Terre means "5 cities," each city can be reached by foot, train, or ferry. We stayed in Vernazza and took a two hour hike to the neighboring city, Monterosso. We fell in love with the quaint town and incredible views. We felt right at home because we were by the ocean...
Today we saw Pisa. It was fun watching everyone taking the classic picture of holding the tower up. Of course, we took that picture too, but it is on the other camera. Afterwards, we drove to a secluded city, where we were the only tourists. It was nice to see what Italian life is really like. AND when you visit a place not populated by tourists, the gelato is DIVINE!!! They topped the ice cream off with a heavy cream.... it really was a little piece of heaven. You would have loved it mom!

Sad News
"The Butterfield Babies," (our fish) as Asha calls them, have passed away. Only 7 out of 18 are living. We found out the news this evening. We are really sad, seeing that they have been with us for a few years. They were just as much a part of our family as our cat is. Our much loved Gordon (the big blue one that stole everyone"s heart), was also included. We will sure miss them...

More from Venice!
One of the many times we stopped for delicious gelato!
Gondolas.
Attempt #2 at the blog... last night was rough seeing that it was late and we were being charged per minute. The trip thus far has been incredible! The first half of the morning was spent feeding the pigeons in the square and wondering the streets, looking for the perfect painting.
It was difficult leaving Venice. Both Jared and I fell in love with the magic and charm that is felt while walking through the streets of Venice. It was romantic being in this city with the one I love the most.
This afternoon, we took the train to Florence. We are staying in our first hostel.... what a fun experience! The rooms are darling, the internet is free, the manager is hilarious, and there is even a washing machine! We are looking forward to seeing David tomorrow and the other tourist sites.
We love and miss you all!
