you're all too good to me :)

thanks for all the sympathy!! and rock on for all the offers for sweets. i will take you ALL up on those offers :) jess, just a big tub of your famed white icing would do the trick and rooms, too bad we dont still live together because i'm sure you'd have the fridge stocked with an assortment of things i cant resist ;) i mean, its not like i'm getting enough pure sugar while i'm here ;) and thankfully the fall did not ruin my outfit. suprisingly there was just a bit of dirt on me that i brushed off. not a bad deal.

so i guess when i heard that cinque terre was a beautiful place i was under the impression that it was just a goergous tropical place. with lots of sandy beaches. and there is definitely lots of ocean views but they are all surrounded by freaking mountains. and dont get me wrong, its super beautiful here but i just wish that the actual beach was a bit closer. its just a 15 minute train ride but i'm lazy and want everything at my finger tips ;) in my last blog i forgot to add something to the part where i said i am sick of traveling alone. what i meant to add was that most other solo travelers i have met say they like traveling alone because they get to meet so many new people and make new friends. now, if i was a binge drinker that might work out for me, but i'm not. so i dont really want to just "party like a rock star" like this one girl keeps saying.... and i've never been one to really enjoy making lots of surface level, 2 day friends. so thats why i am looking forward to coming back home to all my wonderful friends and family that i already have. that might sound kind of bratty, but.... ;) so after i blogged last i went to my room and met this girl lindsey (the party like a rock star girl) and she basically talks nonstop. which works out ok since i am not always that big of a talker (shocking i'm sure) ;) so yesterday we went hiking together. there was a hiking trail that connects from each of the 5 cities of cinque terre. and it was brutal. it was a full days worth, 5 hours of actual hiking. very very hard and steep in several spots so we worked our booties off. and when we'd stop at the different cities to look around or each lunch my legs were like shaking violently. awesome! :) but it was a great feeling to accomplish it and see where all we'd gone. pretty cool and great views. and she is a big beer and wine drinker so she was trying to figure out what kind of wine i might like. so when we were at the grocery store getting stuff for dinner (fruit salad - incredible!!) i bought this little pack of 3 mini bottles of what we think is either sparkling white wine or champagne. turns out it is champagne, which is a bit strong tasting for me. so i am gonna snag some orange juice and make myself a momosa (not sure how to spell that). ghetto i know but so good :) hahah. but since i exerted quite a bit of energy yesterday i am laying low today. it hasnt been crazy sunny.... definitely hot but sort of overcast. so i dont know if i am going to get any good laying out in today. but if not thats ok with me. i will go to the beach no matter what tomorrow and lay there in rain or shine :) and someone left a beach mat in my room so i am going to borrow that while i'm here. whoop whoop!!! :)

so yeah, things are looking better for me. funks usually last a couple of days for me so it is quickly going away :) i am going to relax and enjoy the rest of my time here, eat some more good but healthy food, i'm pumped to try the pesto sauce which they are known for, and i will of course be partaking of one last magnum bar before i go ;)
