The best part of visiting #cinqueterreitaly is the hiking. @romainbielaire who knew I’d like hiking so much? My darling friend @elisebjastad is a proper hiker and she’s good with maps, so we never got lost. If the directions were left to me, we’d probably end up needing to be air lifted. So this picture was taken from our hike from #riomaggiore to #monterosso. When were descending into Monterosso, we met this guy who was selling his homemade wine and #lemonchello His property is in the hike’s pathway and he created a makeshift shop to sell his goods. Well, since we had only ten minutes of our hike to complete, we decided to have a drink. It was #delicious and hiking and drinking will never become a thing. This guy was so funny! He told me I have to return in the fall to help him stump on his grapes, so he could make wine. He said that I have nice grape stamping legs. Wow, I have to file that under my list of strange compliments. I was called mama juice in #ethiopia by a random guy at the club, and now nice grape stumping legs. Lastly, I’m hiking while #nerding - my t-shirt was created by the @dominicanwriters and it features a quote by #junotdiaz #blackwriters #italy #hikingincinqueterre #travelgram #travelblogger #travelnoir #blacktravelmovement #travel #summer #italianfood #italianwine #fuku #emergingwriters #writing (at Cinque Terre - Monterossso) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LbfiDo9dz/?igshid=1q38hb2muo4by
