buongiorno!

well, it is over. my trip that i have been anticipating for so many long months has come and gone.

it sucked.



just kidding, it was so incredible and amazing! what sucks is that it is over. i got home a couple weekends ago, and i think i was procrastinating on writing this post because i didn't want it to be over!

i completely fell in love with the family members that we met while we were over there... i only wish i got to stay that third week with them at their home in vistrorio, with my mom, aunt, and cousin. the food, the wine (ohhh the wine!), the amazing views.... i could go on and on :)

i still have to go through all 1200 (800 camera, 400 phone!) of my pics but i plan to share those... (at least some of those)... a little later!  i still have a few client sessions to edit, and am forcing myself to finish those before i move on to my italy pics! for now, some highlights of my two week trip in my most favorite place on earth: italia!
(all photos below taken with my iphone 6)

just some art on the airplane - to show my love for traveling. watching that sunset from the airplane was a pretty good start to the trip. 

looking over cortona (the village we stayed in for the first week) as a storm rolls in. we spent the next few hours at the lions well pub in town! the only day it really rained was this first full day we were there. not too shabby. and of course, it was beautiful!

day trip to perugia, italy 

lorenzo and i teaching each other our native languages (<3 him) 

walking around the winery in tuscany 

best pizza!

my morning view from our villa on the second week in conca dei marini

and as we learned on day one from lorenzo (pictured above!): Saluti tutti! (cheers to all)

one of our last nights in the amalfi coast, enjoying some vino on the patio!

so until next time.... saluti tutti!
