A few weekends ago we enjoyed a walk through Howth.

Last Thursday Killian and I celebrated our first year together. Time flies! We took the weekend to have a little getaway at his family's property in Arklow.

We were running out of daylight. So instead of hiking to Manarola, we took the train from Corniglia. And since we'd spent most of our time hiking, we decided to explore this town more. It was a pretty wonderful adventure. And during our exploration, we found a trail of blood. Leading to a guy who had somehow lost his finger. Talk about excitement! After all of the climbing of stairs and hills we headed back to Riomaggiore for dinner.

Most of our time had been spent hiking so far. So our stop in Corniglia was pretty short. It took a million steps to get there. But we peeked around a bit. Then we went to our last town in the hike by train: Manarola.

After Monterosso we arrived in Vernazza. Definitely my tied for my favorite town in Cinque Terre.

I chose to be in Cinque Terre (pronounced Chink-Wa Tehr-Ay) for my birthday.
