monterosso {cinque terre pt. 1}

even though it was the weekend before finals

and i still needed to write two more 10 page papers

and study for my italian final

i went to cinque terre with my friend emily & annabelle

was this a good idea?

hell yeah it was!

(for those of you who don't know

le cinque terre

are 5 small beach towns

which you can walk to one by one

or take the train between

{which we had to do for the first 2 cities because 2 trails were closed because of rock slides :(})

the mediterranean!

i couldn't get over how BLUE and CLEAR it all was

please pardon the self photo

the beach was all pebbles

i may or may not have taken a green, shiny souvenir

oh you know..

just sitting at a cafe on the ocean front

i love that you can see the rocks :)

modeling on the pier

annabelle & emily = ANTM (cycle 15)

ok i only remembered to take a photo just as

i was about to finish eating this, BUT, this foccaccia:

BEST FOCCACCIA I HAVE EVER EATEN

so so so so so so good.

potato and rosemary never tasted better together

probably the best way to start off the cinque terre (:
