Cinque Terre once again tops the charts of the most beautiful places to visit. You may have even seen Brook Burk give a “wild on E” at this place! Lets just start with the drive there… Ok remember what I said about suggested speed limits? Has anyone ever gone 170 in a minivan before.. ummm neither have I but lets just say that if I did.. the speedometer would look something like this. (anyone know how fast this is in mph?) hahaha

This is about the time I stuck my hands out the window and used them like ailerons to lift my front two tires off the ground. We fly high, that’s no lie… you know this! :) (STAR MAN!)

 

Aight Berto, the next picture is for you… since wine costs about the same amount as water in these small fishing villages of Cinque Terre, I considered replacing water with wine for the weekend. This worked great until I realized it was also a much STRONGER wine than what you get back in the states.

Needless to say, after about two bottles I scratched that plan. Back to water!

    FYI 170 kilometers per hour equals…47.22222 meters per second, 2833.3333333 meters per minute, 0.0293425 miles per second, 105.6327955 miles per hour, 154.9285506 feet per second, 91.7924450 knots, and 1.574615e-7 light speed. Just thought you would want to know.

    I think that it is time to add more. Needless to say, it is, as always amusing to hear about what you are doing there. Even though Devin still thinks you are too far away. Which speaking of, I showed him on the globe where you were, and told him about how you took a plane and how you had to fly over the ocean and stuff, and he just looked at me and said “well, just make him get on another plane then.” So much for explaining that you are a long ways away. But hey, I tried. Now it is your turn.
