My parents got to Rome and I picked them up at the train station around 12:30. After that we went back to my room, had lunch and reorganized then set out for Cinque Terre.
• Dad almost got pickpocketed. The distraction: 2 women on the train got into a "fight." The result: they realized all they got was his dirty, broken, old, dollar store reading classes and case. They dropped it and got off. In all seriousness, it was the first attempted pickpocket I've encountered. Pickpocket-0 Us-1
• The loudest little Italian I've ever encountered and she was no more than 6 sat near us on the train. Her mother was just as bad. She stuck stickers all over the window, yelled, talked, ran around and caused general ruckus. The guy in our box was so funny and just kept rolling his eyes. Eventually she came and joined us in our box. Loudest Italian EVER.
• I managed to get us off at the wrong Cinque Terre stop. Luckily the ticket allowed us to get on the next train. 15 minute delay but it could have been worse. Train-1 Courtney-0
• Made the 10 minute trek across Levanto litarally from one side of town to the other. I love Cinque Terre, I walked 2 streets and saw the entire town of Levanto.
• Had a late dinner at a little place right around the corner from the Garden Hotel where we are staying. Dad and I had pizza and Mom had a regional pasta with pesto.
• Back to the Hotel where the front desk guy is so helpful. Mom and I discovered the balcony which far surpasses my apartment balcony.
overall, a good start to the weekend.
