This post is not for the light-hearted.



Cinque Terre, Italy: the most beautiful place on earth.



Home of blue, sparkling waters...



...and sharp rocks...



Hey there rocks, please meet my back which is just dying to be ripped open by you.



6 numbing shots, 3 horse-sized stitches, and a pain-killer shot later...



And there is going to be a most excellent scar from this.

I got back to the states and got the stiches removed two weeks later. I quote, "Wow, look everyone, Italian stitches! What the heck are these made out of?" says the doctor.

But who cares because the Italian doctor rode up on a bike. How awesome is that?
