An Amazing Birthday in Italy

For my 20th Birthday I was in Cinque Terre, Italy.  I absolutely LOVED it!!  With a couple of days composed of sitting on the beach, watching the sunset, eating lots and lots of gelato, and relaxing, it made for a perfect birthday.  We toured the five cities, shopped, and soaked up the Italian culture.  

Some of what we did while in Pisa and Cinque Terre:
- eating Pizza in Pisa (ironic, haha)
- riding the train to get to Cinque Terre and seeing the sea as soon as we exit the tunnel
- the beautiful sunset and beach
- gelato, gelato, gelato, and yet even more gelato
- Pesto! They are known for the pesto in Cinque Terre and it is on everything (pizza, pasta, with bread)

This is definitely my favorite place yet!  I plan to return someday.  Here are some photos from Pisa and Cinque Terre:
