Lucca to Genoa

I must apologize for not posting any pictures yet. I don't have access to a computer so I cannot upload them to ...
When in Rome, Venice, Florence, etc...
... bringing in their daily hauls, the tourists wandering around looking for the best sunset point (which btw we certainly found). Unfortunately the area was devastated by flooding last October and is still recovering. Many of the paths between the villages were washed away and the most beautiful village, Vernazza, has been terribly scarred. Nonetheless we walked, explored and loved this beautiful place.
And we ate. And drank. Oh how we ate and drank.
