Cinque Terre, 5 lands, Italy

Phot credit for the sunset goes to C! Gorgeous!


Team kayaking to some hidden coves/beaches. I was definitely the weakest link here.

Hands down, the best part of the vacation: boat ride to see the 5 lands. Food and drinks were provided and the weather was absolutely perfect. Exactly where I wanted to be with the people I wanted to be with.


Enjoying Italian Focaccia in the Mediterranean.


Coucou Mom! Get in already! C was thrilled that she swam to a cave and carved with rocks. Such a neanderthal.

Beautiful day with one of the 5 cities behind us.



Boat Captain Emilie :)

My 2 favorite people :)

We hiked this the day before. I was so proud of the girls!

We stayed in Levanto. It was a cute town and I am so glad we went when we did. Luckily it was as busy as usual due to the health situation everywhere.

View from the train. Riamaggiorre to Levanto.

Hiking for 3 hours. It wasn't always easy but ice cream was waiting for us and we made it to the end.

This is my team. I love them all so much!


Our Airbnb is down there somewhere.

Dinner antics :)

Scraping fingers with the shell. She is hardcore. Don't mess with her.

A new drink?

He makes me so happy. He is such a kid and such the adult, depending on the moment.


She touched a hot plate. The waitress put ice on her finger. She is now being a bit dramatic for the picture which we thought was funny (not the burning before though, just to be clear).


Drawing on rocks at the beach.

Happiness :)

View from the apartment. Such a great place in the end. We had a view to the sea on one side and the mountains on the other.




World's slowest poor. She is funny, funny I tell you.

First meal in Levanto before we found the beach.

Peak-a-boo, I see you.

Breakfast of champions, Italian coffee and cookies.

 

 

I got a cool new mask. Thanks mom!!

E's first day of school: Year 5!

Here we go again. Off to school :)

First day of school for me too. I can't wait to meet my new students!!

Second day for C and 1st day for E. They look so cute!

C's books after the 1st day. WOW!



Last picture of the 1st day. She had had enough.  :)


First day of secondary school in the French section for C!! I am so proud of her and can't believe we are here.                                                                

Day before school and helping distribute all the books to teachers. I told them I would pay them 5chf each for their hrd work. They did awesome! I am so proud of both of them!
