ITALY.

I have to admit, I have seen quite a bit of Italy. [lucky duck, I know.] After a while, the magic and wonder of it all can begin to fade slightly. But when I stepped foot in La Spezia and experienced the postcard imagery of Cinque Terre, my original love and awe of Italy came rushing back. A couple of friends and I attempted to walk through all five towns thinking it would take us a couple of hours tops. We were quickly informed that we were about an hour and a half away from the next town over and would need the whole day to make the entire trek [and we were wondering why the people passing us were decked out in hiking gear..] So we opted for the train, getting lost quite a few times but eventually making it to three out of the five towns. Iā€™d like to think and hope they were the best three. Either way, the day was very special and reminded me why people dream of making it to Italy. *Photos from Portofino and Cinque Terre*
