Vernazzia

Vernazzia is one of the towns in the Cique Terre. This past October, there was a lot of rain. Because of this the town experienced some landslides. There was a lot of damage to the city. This is probably the most photographed of the 5 cities, and so I was very excited to visit. It was surprising to see the amount of damage. Everything on the bottom floors of buildings was under renovation and being fixed from the slide that came through town. The water is muddy along it's coast. As we hiked to the next town we came across a house that had been washed away by the creek the ran past it. Half of the house was gone and the half still there was untouched. Clothes were still in the closet, books on the shelves, and pictures hanging on the wall. Although the city had quite a bit of damage, it was still beautiful.
