Two and a half years ago, Stacy and I were backpacking our way through Greece and Italy. Our travels took us through Cinque Terre, where we ended up spending a relaxing 3 nights in the rather idyllic town of Vernazza. It was a favorite for both of us.

Just a few weeks ago, her mom sent us a link to these images on Rick Steves' blog. At the end of October, a massive mudslide crashed through the streets of Vernazza -- leaving the town in ruins. It breaks my heart to see this beautiful town so devastated.

This is very sad, but surely they will make it good as new and this will only be a memory. But what a difficult time for those who live here, and for those who once visited, too?
