We have spent so much time on this blog sharing details of what we did on the trip, that I often forget to let you know that we have had some really long and good conversations about life. For David, it is a time of transition, of choosing/discerning what he pursues with all of his heart. For me, it is a time of introspection. For both of us, it is a great time to clear our minds and open our hearts and learn more about each other.
Today was especially good for those conversations as we hiked over 8 miles of very steep terrain, going from Monterosso to Vernazza, and from there to Corniglia.
During the first hike we asked directions from two female hikers. Courtney and Paige were their names, from Oregon. Courtney had just graduated college like David and was celebrating with her sister Paige who was living in Poland this past year as an English teacher.
We spent the next five hours discussing everything from college to choosing a career, to God, to family dynamics and living abroad. Good stuff!
We then caught a train to two other towns and officially completed visiting all five towns that form this national Park called Cinque Terre.
Day can be summed up with great views, good food, cool conversations, new friends and stronger legs!
