Cinque Terre – Via Dell’amore

I finally did a bit of shopping in Riomaggiore - - I bought a flapper-type hat with a charming little silk flower, another gift for the Morays, and something for the group gift exchange. Then, I started on the Via Dell'amore with Cathy from the tour group. This is the most civilized part of the trail - - it is completely paved, relatively wide, and has a railing on the downhill side. All along the trail are little locks attached by young married couples who throw away the key symbolizing the permanence of their union. However, I also saw a few combination locks and wonder if those couples thought they might be changing their minds? Except for the fact that there were a lot of people also taking the walk, it was really wonderful with spectacular views.
