| Weaving through a
crowd of French and Italian tourists, we soon reached a ledge with a
long railing. Beyond us I saw what was perhaps the most incredible
vista I've ever experienced: a wide, beautiful gorge, curving
dramatically down and to the left between a series of mountains that
intersected with each other like a giant tectonic zipper until the
gorge reached the sea. To the right I spotted a waterfall scampering
down the hillside; it was probably more than a half a kilometer away
but was still quite dramatic.
