La dolce vita: The Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre (literally, five lands) region of northwestern Italy, a cluster of five tiny Mediterranean towns, is on my list of the most beautiful places in the world. Each town is connected by spectacular hiking trails. Except for the first one, these photos come from my euphoric and grueling hike from tiny Vernazza (where I stayed) to the resort town of Monterosso.
