aie, shin splints
Did a 3-hour hike yesterday with Dom. Beautiful but painful. Highly recommend Cinque Terre as a travel destination if you enjoy hiking up steep hills while enjoying sea views and diverse flora and fauna, vineyards and German hikers. Don't come here just for the 5 towns because, while cute, they are all more or less the same as far as tourist shops and trattorias. Heading to Como next (as in the lake, not the 50's crooner, but you already knew that).
