Cliff jumping

From Daniel

My dad told me to think about where I would want to live and I said Cinque Terre.  

 Cinque Terre means five towns, and every single one is built on the side of the mountains and right on the Mediterranean. And I’m going to tell you why I want to live there.

We took a train to the second town then took a boat to the last town.  The boat was really fun because we passed the two towns before the last one and we could see tons of cliffs and caves.  When we got to the last town we could see all the towns which was awesome. We had lunch at a restaurant that was on the beach.  The beach had colored umbrellas that were all the same which was funny if you saw it from above. It turned out that we had to pay to use the beach so we did and got nice beach chairs. Then we saw a big rock that was in the water and yelled ‘’Cliff jumping!’’ Jonathan and I jumped in and swam out to the rock and climbed up.  We waited for our dad to check and see where the bottom was.  He came up and told us it was ok so we jumped off!

Once we got used to it we started doing dives and flips. It was so fun that we spent our whole afternoon there. When we had to leave the tide was bringing in jellyfish so we had to avoid them. After we were all ready to go we decided to go on the hike to the next town. In Seattle I had seen a cliff jumping video of some guys jumping of a bridge. On the hike to the next town we saw the place exactly where they jumped off which was cool because you don’t get to do that every day.

Cinque Terre has beautiful views, great cliff jumping, and amazing beaches… And that’s why I want to live there.
