Finale Ligure
Finale Ligure is a comune on the Gulf of Genoa in the Province of Savona in Liguria, Italy.
It is considered part of the Italian Riviera.
 |
| Finale Ligure is located directly adjacent to the Rock of Caprazoppa, a steep limestone mountain on the southwest, and much of the town extends up hill slopes. |

A Day in Cinque Terre
 |
| Steph and I took a train ride with our bike along the Cinque Terre coast. |
Vernazza
 |
| Bridging over Italy |
 |
| Meditating with Steph |
 |
| The Love locks made their way to Italy! |
 |
| Through the cave, |
 |
| opening up to the ocean |
 |
| This day I learned to respect the ocean... |
 |
I dared to climb the rocks to feel the ocean spray and the adrenaline rush
of the waves pulling me away... |
 |
I got my fix and should have pulled away but my timing was off, I did delay,
slipped from the rock and was sucked out to sea,the current was strong but my will stronger
and within three waves I was back on shore with a greater respect the ocean for sure. |
 |
| Mermaid Steph |
 |
That was enough of Manarola for the day.
We grabbed our bikes and headed on our way. |
 |
| No fear from this little guy |
Monterosso al Mare

The area is famous for its many lemon trees.
