ITALY: PART 3 Cinque Terre for 3 days......We arrived in the little village of Vernazza and tracked down our hotel. A hippie making mojitos at a bar turned out to be the owner of the "hotel" and showed us up a maze of stairs to our place....it was quite comical to say the least.


That night I ordered everything out of the sea for Suz to try and we ate on a cliffside beneath a castle....it was amazing

Probably the most beautiful view to a meal I have ever experienced.....and suzanne was the hottest date:)ha

We walked up to the castle right before dinner and had a nice little view of the village

after dinner we strolled down to the water to enjoy the rest of the evening

a bottle of red and a bar of chocolate..............

the next day we got up early and did a 6 hour hike all along the ocean through the 5 villages....

the views were incredible

the last day in Italy we decided to take a train to Santa Margherita.....

Our last morning coffee in Monterosso before getting on the train to meet my parents and brother in Lugano, Switzerland

In Lugano, we all went out to dinner above the lake(Suz is here, just taking the picture!)

Suz on Lake Como

My brother Alex!!!!!

Oh yes, we did take Suz to the Swiss Chocolate factory and this is the chocolate model cow:)

We drove over this beautiful pass in Switzerland.......

And then we spent 3 days in Germany with Suzanne.....the trip was perfect in every way. I flew to LA to meet my sister and belen...and we all had a great time.....

My little sister.....too cute

Oh yes, we got to pet a Eurasian horned owl at lunch in Santa Barbara.....

The three girls went to lunch to celebrate my birthday early, it is Sept. 12th
And I met her boyfriend and love him........now, i am back at my place in Baltimore and start classes on Tuesday....oh joy
