So found cheap internet place but I think the problem in Europe will be lack of internet places.... BUt we´ll see, maybe there will be more places at our next stop. EIther way, here are some pics from Cinque Terre, Italy that we couldnt get up last post.

View while hiking Me and the boys in our home of Riomaggorie.So we had one last night with the Andersons and our sweet villa. It was Kari´s birthday so we all we took the train to Vernazza and had the greatest meal of all time (seafood pasta, calamari, killer dessert, it was fabulous).
Then we ventured to find the Pirate Bar we had seen a sign for the day before. THe Andersons seems to have quite a thing for pirates and thus Kari planned her entire night of celebration on this Pirate Bar...but alas, aftre much searching in the cold hard rain, uphill the whole way, it turns out the signs had lied, this was no bar, just a closed Gelateria. BOO! So we had to drag ourselves back home and found ourselves spending yet another night at Bar Centrale. In the end tho, we had lots of fun and stayed up way too late after the bar playing several intense rounds of cards that Andy never won. Pretty much he can´t beat me at anything (ESPECIALLY mario kart!).
Anyway, I'd like to take this moment to thank God for two things 1. The Andersons - Partington parents for forcing Kari and Andy to rent a car and 2. GPS systems. Out of some crazy coincidence Kari and Andy were heading to Bergamo the very same day Steve and I had a flight to catch from there (and only realized too late that no trains run there! oooops). So we had a nice little road trip before parting ways. Well nice for me and Kari who slept, stressful and scary for Steve and Andy who navigated and drove, respectively, in sudden downpours and tight time scheduling.

Now Steve and I are in Granada, Spain on our own and we loooovee it here. Its such a bautiful city with lots to do and the people are so stylish. We spent a good part of yesterday sitting in a plaza and just people watching. 
The families are all outfit coordinated and everything, I got very excited. Eating is pretty good here too, though doesnt start until about 9ish but its nice cuz its like being back in Montreal all over again....except its nice outside....and people speak Spanish instead of Quebecer French! Today we slept in for once and visited the Alhambra, a Muslim-style and archeticture castle or fortress or something like that. It was huuugggee with amazing views and crazy carved ceilings and walls.
Now we are gonna go have a siesta in keeping with local culture followed by a late dinner hopefully in the outskirts of the city where a huge fiestival is going on (or so we hear, altho the details of which sound too good to be true...). Tomorrow we might head to the shore, right across from Morrocco to a place called Tarifa but not 100% sure yet as its a camping beach area and our friends tent is not really equipped for 3 people.....

The fact that you destroyed the integrity of your blog with lies about my mario kart prowress just leads me to believe you aren't even in Spain. You know, it takes a lot of growing up to admit that I'm a mario kart god; until then you'll just be a no-good, poopy-pants liar. Is that how you'd like to be remembered? Grow up Natalie. Have fun guys!!!
I'm really happy that you're having a wonderful time, especially when you can get things for FREE and CHEAP ..like father like daughter .. we love CHEAP and FREE stuff!!
Keep safe and don't sample too many wine bottles!
