This morning Connor, Kayla, Mom, and the Nanas went to the market right by our place. Meanwhile, Griff went to the field to get his first session of the day in. When everyone was back, Griff, Mom, Connor, and Dad eventually left the house to get on the train at around 11. This train would take them all the way to Corniglia, where we started yesterday. But today instead of walking around town and taking a train back, we hiked back through Vernazza and ended in Monterroso. It was a super cool and exciting hike with breathtaking views anywhere you looked. It was around 10 miles of ups and downs and then even more ups. There were a lot of ups. We stopped in Vernazza for a little while once we got there because Griff and Dad hadn't seen it yet. We sat down and got some Focaccia and enjoyed the scenery. Griff went into a beach that was technically illegal to go to but he wasn't the only one there so it was fine. It had a very cool entrance. We then got back on our hike again. When we got to Monterosso we got some Gelato. Then Griff and Connor went to the beach while Mom and dad hiked another town over to Levanto.
The second group's day looked very different. The Nanas, Gage, and Kayla took a train (that they almost missed) to Deiva Marina and walked to the beach. Gage and Kayla also made rock towers. After that they went to Levanto for grocery shopping and lunch. There they met up With mom and dad. They all then walked home together.
Now back to Connor and Griff. After a relaxing and somewhat eventful time at the beach, and after Griff finished making his rock tower which was much better than Kayla and Gages, we headed back to the train station to get home. When we got there, we realized we had no idea what train was ours and we had to run and get tickets because we only had 2 minutes until the train was supposed to arrive. When we went to buy tickets, we realized that the times we had were wrong and the actual next train was in another hour. There was one train however that would take us to Levanto which we could then get off and walk home which was about a 45 minute walk. Ten minutes after our train was supposed to arrive, we went up to ask the nice lady at the desk and it turns out ours was canceled. So obviously we made the only rational decision. We took the next train to arrive and hoped it would take us to the right destination. So when it arrived we got on and luckily it went the right direction. We looked it up and it said it would go by Bonnasola. It just didn't say if it would actually stop there or not. Luckily it stopped at Levanto and we decided to not risk it and just walk back. After we got back, everyone else was already home. Everyone then left to watch the sunset except for Griff because he met up with his new soccer buddy at the field again (shout out my guy Rassidou) for his second session of the day. We then ate a delicious dinner of Potatoes and Fish. Connor and Kayla had pizza though and Gage had something else. Anyway, after that Connor and Kayla, Left to go on a late night walk where Kayla saw a shooting star. Dad, Gage, and the Nanas played cards, Mom went to bed, and I, well, wrote this. By now most people are in bed asleep and I will start watching whatever strange thing Connor decides to put on.
Thanks for reading and we'll catch you tomorrow as we head to Milan!
