When weather sucks/doesn't suck!

I departed Florence on a gloomy morning. The weather was not looking up for my excursion to That City With The Leaning Tower, nor for my final destination of the day, the Cinque Terre region of Italy's northwestern coast. It drizzled steadily all morning.

I've concluded that Pisa doesn't in fact have anything of any sort of significance other than the Leaning Tower, except for maybe a decently cool river running through the middle of it. Actually that's a lie, and I blame it on the fact that I was only there for a short while.



Above is my attempt at Pisani humor.

I was in the city for all of 90 minutes, as I had prebooked a train to the Cinque Terre region prior to my departure from the U S of A. Immediately upon my arrival there, the weather turned for the better. Sunshine and 65 degrees.



I'll take it.

I met up with my friend Bryan who is currently studying in Rome at the hostel and we hung out around the town Levanto for the remainder of the day.

After a pretty epic sunset..



..we had an excellent seafood dinner of Mussels, Penne with Anchovies, and Sepia (i believe its cuttlefish, which was a first for me) before checking out the "nightlife"(non-existent aka we ended up at the townie bar).



Limoncello^ from said townie bar. Mmmmmm.
