Riomaggiore (Cinque Terre, Italy)

The unofficial headquarters of the five cites (Cinque Terre) on the Northwestern Italian Coast is Riomaggiore. Our bed and breakfast was located on the opposite side (in Monterosso al Mare) so we never had the pleasure of exploring Riomaggiore except from afar while taking a boat ride to give us better views of the five coastal cities.

Is it summer yet? It’s only 40 something here in Chicago today so I don’t think Mother Nature got the memo. As a result, I stayed home most of the weekend (even sold my Cubs tickets yesterday since I didn’t feel like sitting out in the cold temps for four hours) with hopes of catching up on work and the blog. Unfortunately, my router/modem had other ideas and is being a major pain in my ass – my upload speeds which used to hover around 4 mbs range but all of a sudden within the past ten days its been less than 1 mbs which means anytime I try to upload anything website times out. I’m losing patience quickly!! Anyone better with techie stuff and know what I’m supposed to do here?

The image above I had to shrink the quality pretty drastically just to get it to load properly which is mighty annoying!!!
