I've been looking forward to today's S@S trip since I signed up back in March! Today I was able to take an Italian cooking class....and because I was the trip m family-owned hotel. This hotel was originally the family home where they would host a lot of friends and family and cook for them. So, the family was encouraged open a restaurant, and then they were encouraged to add a few guesthouses for friends...which eventually expanded to this quaint hotel. It was so peaceful and beautiful. It's no wonder that the hotel needs to be booked at least a year in advance...even for the low season.
Because our group was so large, we had to split-up into two groups. One group would cook first and the second group would be able to take a tour of the grounds and go swimming. How luxurious. ;) My group cooked first, and we were taught how to make fresh pasta. So our chef came out and taught us the simple steps to make pasta and showed how the same procedure can be used to make practically any pasta. While the steps were simple, I had some trouble with the technique. The chef had to come over and fix my dough. :( Eventually I was able to roll it out into linguine pasta.
Then it was time for the groups to switch, so my group had an opportunity to either swim or take a tour of the grounds. I opted for the tour, and it was so great. They showed us how they used to make olive oil with the most elementary equipment and how they make it today. They have beautiful grounds that grow everything from grapes, olives, figs and plums. They utilize all of these fresh fruits and vegetables in their cooking and the food items that they sell.
Of course this meant that we had to make a trip to their family store. I was able to buy some amazing olive oil, preserves and a bottle of sweet prosecco. My hope is to take it home for us to enjoy at Thanksgiving, but depending how much room I have it might to be consumed on the ship. Ooopps! ;P
Soon it was time for lunch and we all assembled in the outside patio that was our "kitchen" and we were served a seven course lunch, which included: salad, chicken liver pate, bread, an antipasta plate, our actual pasta in a marinara sauce, our main entree was lemon and herb chicken with potato wedges. Then we took a break to help make the dessert, which was Tiramisu...my favorite. It is quite a simple recipe. I don't know why I haven't ever made it before.
After we made the Tiramisu, we of course got to eat it. While we were being served dessert, they gave each participant a certificate certifying us as official Italian chefs...so see I wasn't lying. I am now a certified Italian chef!!!
It was amazing. It's definitely not my last cooking class in Europe and the Mediterranean so I'll definitely keep you posted on the other yummy dishes I'll be making on this voyage. Now...if only I could get access to the ship's kitchen! ;)

The Freakin' Memories of Cinque Terre!
July 1, 2010
Okay, so from the title of this post, you can get a sense that it was a very interesting day. There are too many memories to document for one day, but I will do my best.
So, my friends and I slept in a little bit this morning and we got up and out into the town by 9:30am. We decided that we would checkout of our hostel, grab some quick breakfast and get out to Manarola, the next town. Unfortunately, this is where we faced our first hiccup for the day. The hostel office doesn't open until 10:30am, so we couldn't checkout when we wanted to. So we took a more relaxing time for breakfast as we waited for the office to open. Time is a very relative to the locals...especially in the small towns of Cinque Terre.
So at 11:00am, we checked out of the hostel and made our way
to the first town of the day, Manarola. In order to hike the towns, the trail is a national park and requires a daily pass to hike the trails between the towns. So we purchased our passes and we made our way to the "Via dell' Amore". It is a walkway of lovers and everywhere you look, there are locks on all the chain fences. Supposedly, lovers are supposed to walk this path together and lock their hearts with a lock anywhere on the path. Cinque Terre is a huge honeymoon destination so that might explain the thousands of locks we found on the walk. :) This was the easiest walk of the day. It only took us 30 minutes to get to Manarola.
The next town was Corneglia. It was starting at this town that I realized that I was not fully informed about the hike to the 5 towns. In order to get to Corneglia you must hike up 382 steps. Now, these steps are now equal distance. Some are tall and some are short. Some were close and some were far. It was truly an unexpected hike. This walk took 1.5 hours. We decided to take a lunch break at Corneglia. I was so tired that I wasn't hungry...so I just bought another huge bottle of water. I think I consumed 5 1.5-liters bottles of water the entire day. That's A LOT of water!
So, the day definitely got a lot more interesting on the way to Vernazza. The hike to Vernazza should take 2-hours at a brisk pace, and I believe we would have made it if we didn't have a major snafu. While we were hiking, probably an hour in, I asked to take a break to drink some water. While we were taking a rest, LaCona took off her backpack off to rest her shoulder. Now, what happened next is a strange mystery. Somehow her backpack started rolling and it got close to cliff. I could see the whole thing happen slow motion. We both saw the backpack roll off the cliff. I think we were just in shock because neither one of us ran for the bag. Now it would be bad to lose a backpack...but it would have been devastating to lose the contents of THIS bag. It held both our wallets, our ship ID, and our Passports. We would not have time to get a replacement before our next port, which means that we would have to somehow meet the ship at our next port in Naples. Thankfully it's the same country so it wouldn't have been as devastating as having to meet the ship in a new country.
But anyway, I d
igress. So we tried to go over the ledge to get the backpack, but it had fallen too far and the rocks were not stable enough to hold any adult's weight. So, we waited to see if anyone hiking behind us had anything that we could use as leverage. A kind British gentlemen came by and asked if he could help. He had some rope, but it wasn't long enough to be any use. He was heading to Corneglia and offered to get us help from the town. At the same time LaCona offered to go to Vernzazza to get assistance. We were literally in the middle of both towns so we waited to see who would get into town first.
While Kevin and I were waiting, several tourists walked by trying to see what the commotion was. One such group was a family of German tourists. They also had some rope and they tried to tie it to anything for support. However, the item that saved the day was their umbrella. The beach umbrella they had had a hook at one end, and the pole seemed long enough to grab the bag. Kevin got on the other side of the rail and we all held onto him. I think we had 6 people holding him during this incident. He was able to get the bag and there was an anthem of cheers from all the tourists around us. After profusely thanking our new German friends we made the trek to find LaCona. Thankfully we found her within 20 minutes. She had found someone who interestingly had a very similar contraption to our German friends. We walked to Vernazza with LaCona's "friend" and offered to have a snack at his restaurant. Again, I ordered another large bottle of water. After that fiasco, I really wish I drank.... ;)
Finally we got to Vernazza, and it was so beautiful.
There were umbrellas everywhere and the buildings were so colorful. LaCona and Kevin went to the beach for a well-deserved dip while I wrote postcards. It was nice to just rest under the shade and be thankful that everyone survived that little incident and that our passports and wallets were safe. :) We saw our German friends in Vernazza and offered to buy them lunch or drinks. They had already eaten, but they did take a picture with us so that we would never forget this memory.
From Vernazza, the plan
was to take a boat to Monterosso. We had been informed that the hike to Monterosso was a little more rigorous than the hike to Vernazza and that there wasn't much to see. Unfortunately, we missed the boats because were delayed in Vernazza, but I think we were all okay with that. While we were just thoroughly exhausted from our day, we decided to just take a quick tram ride to Monterosso to just say that we went to all 5 towns. When we got there, it was a bit disappointing. Other than the beach there isn't much appeal. The other 4 towns had so much character and amazing atmosphere. I'm glad that we only had 15 minutes there before we had to leave to get back on the ship in Cittavecchia.
It was a day of crazy. Not only was I not prepared for the hike. We were definitely not prepared for the many adventures of the day, which is why I will always remember the freakin' memories of Cinque Terre.

Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terre...OH MY!
June 30, 2010
Every morning I have to wake up and thank God that I am on this amazing voyage. This morning, I woke up to the beautiful landscape of Florence and I couldn't but praise God for this amazing love and grace. Everywhere I look I see the amazing beauty that He created and I find myself in awe. I just had to walk outside the little balcony of the hostel and just look out at the horizon and soak in everything that I saw.
Therefore, after a slight later start that we anticipated, my friends and I grabbed some breakfast (Pizza...the breakfast food of champions and college students) we went searching for soap. Holly, one of the friends that I was traveling with today, needed to go to this famous parfumerie to buy her 
mom some soap that she wanted. As we were going through the beautiful rooms, I soon found out that this parfumerie is also one of the oldest pharmacy/apothecary in the world. It was so interesting to learn how they utilized so many of the natural remedies that we still use today to take care of most ailments. I had to snap a few pictures for mom, so she can also see one of the oldest pharmacy in the world. I also had to get some soap because the entire 5-room shop/pharmacy smelled A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Hopefully the soap will be able to capture some of the scent of the store. :)
After that fun little excursion, we all went to the leather district and did some more shopping. I had to buy some Murano glass pendants for mom and friends so I went out to do some bargain shopping. I'm not the best negotiator of prices, but I have to say I think I did pretty well. I was able to get several times more than 50% off, so that made me happy. I'm not going to say all that I bought because one, you'd be shocked, and two, some of you will be getting these gifts and I want to keep it a surprise. :)
After the shopping, LaCona and I headed towards Pisa and Cinque Terre while our other friend Holly went back to Rome. If any of you have been to Pisa, you know that there's not much there other than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was a pretty quick 2-hour trip. After taking our very touristy pictures, we went on the hunt for Leaning Tower of Pisa bottle of olive oil for one of our fellow LLCs. Everywhere we went there were bottles of alcohol but not of olive oil. It was so crazy. It just made me think about how many of our students would try to get these bottles of alcohol back onto the ship. :(
Next, we headed to Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre means "Five Towns," which is exactly what makes-u the area. We first took the train La Spezia and then took a smaller train to the Riomaggiore, which is the town that we were going to spend the night before hiking the other 4 towns. It was at Riomaggiore where LaCona and I met up with Kevin, a fellow LLC.
Riomaggiore is such a cute little town. It was the perfect town to spend the night. After hiking up to the hostel, which was the highest point of the town, we dropped our stuff off and went to grab some dinner. Quick trivia for my fellow foodies, pesto's birthplace is in the Cinque Terre region...so all I had on my agenda for dinner was to have some great pesto and I can say I was not disappointed. We befriended an older woman, who owns a hostel in town, and she pointed us to a small local restaurant. The food was great, but trying to order food with our very very limited Italian was quite interesting.
After dinner, we walked about the town and grabbed some yummy gelato for dessert as we walked back to our hostel for a good night sleep. We have a huge day of hiking ahead of us so we called it an early night. I can't wait to see the other towns of Cinque Terre. If they look anything like Riomaggiore, it'll be an amazing day!

Ciao from Italy!
June 29, 2010
Ciao from Italy! In 2004, I went to the Trevi Fountain and wished to come back in Italy, and in 6-years it came true. Now if only my other 2 wishes would come true. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
The ship docked in Civitavecchia, Italy, which is the nearest port to Rome. Unfortunately, it's still about a 10-15 minute train ride into the city. Thankfully for me, a few friends of mine and I decided to ditch Rome and head over to Florence. I've been before, but I absolutely adore Florence, so I was more than happy to head there again.It might come as a shock to some 
of you, but I've never stayed in a hostel before. It might make some sense since I haven't done extensive traveling internationally. But, my friends and I stayed in a hostel while we were in Florence, and it was really cute. I always envisioned hostels being tons of bunk beds in a large room, but we had a private room for the three of us and we had a communal bathroom for all the people on our floor. I thought it was quite cute and very reasonably priced (25 Euros). It was a nice first-time experience and fairly close to the train station.

We went into the main Piazza and saw the beautiful Duomos. It's so amazing how you'll just be walking down a street and all of a sudden, one of the most beautiful buildings will be staring back at you. That has happened so many times on this trip...and Florence was no exception.
After roaming the plazas, and doing a little shopping, we traveled to the Piazza Michelangelo. I can't believe I missed this the first time I was in Florence. It was truly a Renaissance moment. There were musicians, people picnicing on the steps with bottles of wine, bread, cheese and fruit while they watched the sunset. It was just such a beautiful experience. It was hard to leave it, but we needed to grab some dinner before we headed to the hostel so we can get up early for another long day of traveling.

Spain: My List for Next Time
My time in Spain was just way too fast. I'm a little ashamed to say this now, but I wasn't expecting much from Spain. I don't know why I thought that. I was expecting just a huge city, where I wouldn't be able to be absorbed in the true culture of Spain, but I was so wrong. Barcelona is ALL about the culture of the Spanish and Catalonian people.
So, now that I've fallen in love with Spain, here is my list of must dos for my next visit:
1. La Boqueria: I literally had 15 minutes in the famous open market off of Las Ramblas. It is an open market filled with fresh fruit, meat, seafood and simple snacks. I got the most delicious tomato and herb filled empanadas and a kilo of cherries that took 5 people all afternoon to finish.
2. Montjuic: I regret not having time to go up to the mountain village of Monjuic. There is a castle and a small village town with lots of side attractions. One of the biggest draws is the water and light show at the fountain at night. I wasn't able to do it this time, but it's definitely on my things to do next time!
3. Monserrat: A monastery situated in the mountains near Barcelona. It is famous for their boy choir that sings every day. It is beautiful and very tranquil. It will definitely be something that will be high on my priority when I go back to Barcelona.
4. Churros con Chocolate: I must go back to Valdor again...but this time much sooner in my visit so I can visit multiple times. Also, I think ordering 4 churros for two people is plenty. LaCona and I ordered 6 and it was way too much for the two of us...and we are two major chocoholics.
5. Madrid: I wish I had time to leave the town of Barcelona to visit more areas of Spain but there just wasn't any time. I would definitely like to visit Madrid next time. I hear that it has a completely different feel to Barcelona. I would love to go next time.

Search for Churros con Chocolate
June 27, 2010Since we got to Barcelona, all I've heard was about Churros con Chocolate. It is day four of our trip in Barcelona, and I had yet to find a store/restaurant that sold them. I was beginning to think that we would never find them, but LaCona and I made it our mission to find them today. From the picture, you can obviously determine that we found them...but it was about a good hour-and-a-half search in the Gothic Quarter to find them. But I can tell you, it was definitely worth the wait!
We found a place called Valdor, which makes churros from
scratch. It was such a treat to watch them make them hot for us. She started with the batter, and squeezed a large portion into the hot oil.Afterward she flipped
the batter over using something that looked like large chopsticks.Needless to say, it was absolutely heavenly. Definitely what my tummy wanted at that moment. While we were there, a woman stopped at our table and told us that the quality of the chocolate is determined by whether or not your churros can stand on its own in the cup of chocolate. From the looks of it, I believe we chose the right place to have our Churros con Chocolate experience!
La Sagrada Familia
June 26, 2010
After missing La Sagrada Familia a few days ago, I was determined to try to get in early this morning. I can tell you that if I missed the La Sagrada Familia, I would have been so devastated. It was absolutely beautiful. When I first saw it in magazines it looked like there was too much going on a little "too much". Every corner you look, there is something else to see.
The cathedral has stories around every corner. When we enter the church you can the marble statues of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It starts with the passover, then the betrayal of Judas, the trial with Pilot and then the crucifixion. It's just absolutely beautiful. I constantly ask myself how Gaudi could have imagined all of this. I can't comprehend how one person could have thought of all these designs.In the church, Gaudi
wanted the light in the church to illuminate the sanctuary with light in a certain way. He wanted it to reflect on a floor of mirrors, where the light would then transfer up to the ceiling, where the church will eventually be topped with a cross. The light is then supposed to stream out of all corners of the cross and shoot out of its extremities. It's just too amazing to comprehend. I was in the church for several hours and I still feel like there is so much to still see.
One of the most amazing things to do at the church was to go up its steeples. From the steeple, you can see more details of the church the entire city of Barcelona. It's absolutely breathtaking. Sometime you just need to allow our spirit to rejuvenate. Well, this was my time. :)
