My most favorite place on earth. My happy place.
Cinque Terre is home to five picturesque villages. Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vernazza, Corniglia, and Monterosso al Mare. You get lost in the tiny streets and alleyways that are sprinkled with shops, Enotecas, gelateria’s, cafes, people, stories, and history. It is a place rich in beauty, adventure, and unwritten stories.
I remember each place vividly. And I long for….
Lazy days soaking up summery sun atop sparkling rocks on the Ligurian coast.
Enchanted nights watching the sunset drizzle into a sun drenched elsewhere.
Days lost meandering through olive trees and vineyards on the sidelines of the Mediterranean.
Evenings spent sipping Prossecco, enjoying aperitivo, and getting lost under yellow umbrellas.
Long hikes that end with SUPing (stand up paddle-boarding) out to waterfalls and sunbathing in the deep blue sea.
Until next time….
