Possibly my favorite of 2017.

One of the best parts of book research is seeing places I know well from perspectives I haven't seen before. Hiking to the top of town to visit a hotel, I got this stunning view of Monterosso. #ricksteves #guidebookresearch #cinqueterre #monterosso (at Monterosso al Mare)

They say there are 385 steps to Corniglia, but I'd say they forgot a zero at the end. Even so, what a view! #exercise #ricksteves #guidebookresearch #travel #view #tired #oy (at Corniglia, Liguria, Italy)
