Levanto

So our adventures continue in the small city of Levanto, just north of the Cinque Terre. It was an adventure getting here, but it was definitely worth it. It's a small coastal town, nestled into the hills. I wondered around a little and to check out the medieval castle and just check things out a bit. Levanto isn't much of a tourist town. All the Tourists head to Cinque Terre, so the atmosphere is very different here. People seem to know everyone and and spend the evenings walking the streets, running into friends, and enjoying the cool weather. 

We are learning rather quickly that translating an Italian menu can be difficult and you really never know what you are going to get. Last night at dinner, some people got really excited to see hamburgers on the menu. So 3 people ordered them. When our food was brought out, everyone started laughing. The hamburger was just a patty, with fries, incredibly disappointing for the 3 that ordered it. I stuck with a pesto minestrone soup. I'm just going to say that it was amazing, and you all should be jealous.
