It is said that when God decided to take a vacation, he created Italy.
Indeed, for when you are there you live a different kind of life. The sun is different, the air is magical, and your heart hears things that has never stopped to listen ... Read more >

The light of the rising sun embroiders the edges of the clouds in golden threads. Sweet lullabies of the night-clad waters fade away blissfully in the first rays of the sun. When the weary traveler first glimpses the domes of this city, when the the ... Read more >

I took a train to Florence yesterday with another girl from the hostel who was also headed this way. Didn't do much yesterday, had to do laundry first thing and that took up plenty of time so I just relaxed. I met up with my hostel friend, Geri, and ... Read more >

This week I attended class for the first time in Italy: I had 6 hours of International Law, which is a third year subject taught in English. I'm getting a nice, easy introduction to studying here, with one subject this week, another one starting next ... Read more >

I hiked from Manarola to Corniglia today. The usual trail is closed, so I did a long one that went up the mountain behind Manarola to a little village called Volastra. There are streams everywhere ( you can see and hear them running underneath the towns ... Read more >

More hiking today. I am very aware of my legs. I took the packed train to Vernazza and started my hike up the mountain to Santuario della Madonna di Reggio. It's a beautiful hike up the green mountains, with views of Vernazza and the Mediterranean below.... Read more >

I spent today hiking. Unfortunately 2 of the main trails are closed, so I took a train to Corniglia to begin my hike there. The stair climb from the station up to the town is a hike in itself! I just walked through Corniglia but didn't check it out ... Read more >

I have no idea how I figured out the bus to Portovenere today. Perhaps a little intuition, a little travel experience, and a little guidance from St. Francis ( he may not be my patron saint, but I consider him so). I took the train to la Spezia, ... Read more >

On a train to Manarola. My throat hurts this morning, I hope I'm not getting sick. It's a long train ride but at least there is a lot to see out the train windows. The sea to the right, and to the left are all the rolling green hills with colorful buildings ... Read more >

I had an overdose of carbs today, so I made sure to have a big salad for dinner. The hostel breakfast consisted of bread, croissant, and focaccia. And barely any coffee. And my lunch was a huge bowl of pesto pasta. Well at least I was fueled for all ... Read more >

On a train to Genova. So confusing trying to get a ticket today. I went to the ticket office but there were so many people it probably would have taken me over an hour just to get a ticket. The machine is the way to go, it just ... Read more >

I definitely do not have the trains figured out. I'm learning though. . . I think. Trying to get to Como today.

And time ticks on here in Macerata at pretty much the same rate as other parts of the world, though it's a little more relaxed here and I feel like I have more time on my hands. However, this doesn't mean I am sitting around doing nothing. By far the ... Read more >
