Arcade Fire was going to gig in Lucca, Italy on the weekend and I was amped to make the mission as soon as I read about it on the net. We booked the tickets for the show and crossed by ferry from Bastia, Corsica to Livorno, Italy (again) where we landed early Saturday morning.
The gig was only at night and we had the whole day to kill in beautiful Italy.
My roommate from Simonsberg, Matthew Sterne, recommended that I go to visit Cinque Terre, north of Livorno on the west coast. He said that this place was beautiful and well worth the visit and he was definitely right. The small town of Manarola was especially mind blowing with a whole village built on terraces on the shoreline. I am glad I followed Matt’s advice. Matt also runs a blog called Sterne Journeys, but he’s a bit of a lazy guy (always has been one) and hasn't really updated it in a while. He said we must wait for something bigger and better… He’s still travelling. Sterne, if you are reading this, start up your blog or create something better. We are waiting.
I’ll upload some photos with a write up of the Arcade Fire gig sometime this week. It was insane!
