We're going to Italy!

June 13-15: Cinque Terre!!!
This was our first experience with Ryanair...one of Europe's cheap airlines (and they make sure you know it too! All of their marketing boasts cheaper flights). Definitely wasn't a luxury airline, but it got us where we wanted to go. We flew from a small airport about an hour outside of Frankfurt, Germany to Milan, Italy. Once in Milan, we picked up our tiny little car (nothing fun though, a Chevy Matiz) which felt like riding in a scooter with 4 walls. It got the job done though! After spending a late night in Lido, Italy (just outside of Milan), we finally arrived in Cinque Terre on Saturday around noon.

The drive in was pretty amazing, with narrow, winding, roads up at the top of the mountains along the coast. You'll have to look at the rest of the pictures to see how awesome the weekend was! My obligatory disclaimer though...I love the place so much that there are a lot of pictures, and many of them very similar! :)
