OK, MR, ABo, ABe, PK, and I had an awesome time last night in La Spezia, which we jokingly dubbed as a shopping mecca when we arrived in the afternoon. It actually lived up to our nickname, though - OK and I each ended up with some inexpensive dresses that we are certainly planning to wear out to J.J. Hills for Francesco.
The city did shut down at about 10:30 while we were walking back to the Hotel Firenze & Continentale (a good choice, if I do say so myself - we got two triple rooms right in the center of La Spezia for a reasonable price). We became convinced that the nice, comfortable town was actually just a facade and the Italians were closing up in preperation for a gang fight (which would quite obviously consist of singing and finger-snapping). Unfortunately, none of us witnessed any fights or gangs (or even singing) from our windows.
Currently we are waiting on the platform for a train that will take us to Monterosso al Mare, the top city of Cinque Terre. It is overcast but not raining, so we hope they will let us hike the trail! If not we plan to take the train through the various cities and hike around them enough to make up for the 5-hour hike we should have had.
Wish us luck -
