Vernazza...rained in with a phantom maid!!

Hey all... well it is raining again in Cinque Terre.

We have moved to Vernazza. What a cute town. We have the cutest room, so homey and private. Two catches... 1) It is next to the clock tower that chimes every 30 minutes from the hours of 7am-10pm. Our lovely little house maid Maria, asked us if we needed a wake up call.... UMMMM, I don't think so. The huge @$$ bell should do the trick!!


Catch number 2.... we have a visitor EVERY time we leave. We don't think Maria has a job, or maybe it is to torture us. We feel like the messiest house guests EVER. We leave, we come back to our things rearranged and our towels hung outside. We are sure she is only trying to be a nice housekeeper but it is a little uncomfortable knowing a stranger has messed with your "unmentionables".

Do to the weather, we went out for a little bit, did some shopping and then came back to rest all day. We read, ate dinner in our room and tried to keep ourselves occupied. Then we decided to come spend a few hours on the computer. As you may have noticed we have added some pics for your added entertainment. This in itself has been quite a task due to the fact that all the internet pages are in Italian. But by the time we leave this country we should be pretty fluent.

The internet cafe is closing now so we will try to add more tomorrow if it rains again or if we have a chance. Till then... ciao!!!

I was wondering if you guys would ever post pictures! At first i was thinking you were taking pictures all on film, no digital.. glad to see everything posted to add to your stories! *taking imagination cap off now*

uhh, creepy. How does this day traveling work? do you have lockers in your rooms to where you can lock your belongings up? How do you know that the maid isnt stealing things from you to add to her collection??

Buy little zipper locks and have fun!! I bet your legs are getting sooo stinkin toned! you should take a sexy legs picture so we can see all that muscle!!

loves!
