It was raining quite hard as we walked through the town. There were lots of shops to buy things but we just walked up and back down.

I found a house I wanted to buy!
Wet group!
Tried to find another Rick Steve's restaurant, but it was closed for lunch. So we took the recommendation of a potter at a shop and stopped for lunch at the Mandragola. Dad and I had a great lunch there. Dad had the chicken under a brick and I had the ravioli filled with ricotta cheese and basil pesto. The chicken was fabulous with crispy skin and the raviolis were great too.

Another bus ride to Viareggio, We are only staying at this hotel for one night, but it is an incredible place. My room is a suite, with a sitting room and a bed room, a walk in closet and a huge bathroom. Of course, Dad's is smaller and now I'm feeling a bit guilty! My room has black
and white pictures of Marlena Dietrich and a leopard print couch. Very 40's.

Our next stop is the Cinque Terre. Hopefully the weather will clear up and we'll be able to go on the scheduled boat ride.
