We woke up to a beautiful morning -our last morning in Cinque Terre.  We were taking the train back to Florence and most of us were flying home the next day.  So I just have a few morning shots to share.

This group shot was taken by Gretchen which explains why she was missing from the photo and I was in it.   Thanks Gretchen for this great shot!   Notice all of the luggage.  It was not an easy travel day.  It turned out to be a very warm day so the coats did not stay on for long.  We were waiting for the taxi to come and take out luggage to the train station while we walked.  

One more photo thanks to Gretchen.  It was not taken on this last morning but I thought I would include it just to prove that I actually was in Italy taking photographs.

It was much too beautiful of a day to be leaving Cinque Terre but at least we had an afternoon in Florence to look forward to.
