CINQUE TERRE, ITALY

I recently took a stroll down travelers memory lane and dug up these photos from a 2008 trip to the Cinque Terre in Italy.  It has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and I think back on the weeks I spent there with a bit of a pinch-me-I-must-have-dreamed-it wonder.  The Cinque Terre is 5 small towns built into the hillside on the Italian Riviera, accessible only by a train or boat. They have everything I could ever want in a vacation spot- amazing people, incredible food and a beautiful, clean sea to swim in.  I went with a couple of friends, one of whom had spent summers there and had a community of locals who embraced him (and therefore me) as their own.  I remember drinking wine into the early hours with a table full of racuous Italians and wishing I could somehow freeze time, that I was in the middle of one of those moments in life where it's just so good you wonder if it coul possibly get any better.  Here's to daydreaming away a bit of your Thursday on some of your favorite travel memories.  xx- Sarah  {more after the jump}

Gorgeous! I loved Cinque Terre as well. Ladycakes' travel post got me thinking about my own trip there too. It's great to see a post on photography! I know this blog is more about style, food and living, but you're such a talented photographer, it's nice to see your bird's eye view of a famous place in this forum!

Love, love Cinque Terre! I dreamed about going for forever and finally went there in July for my honeymoon. It did not disappoint and would love to go back!

I've been absolutely pining for Europe lately -- studied abroad there and talk about ad nauseam to friends. Never made it to Cinque Terre though, looks INCREDIBLE!

My husband and I were just in Cinque Terre last month to celebrate our 1st anniversary! Your photos are bringing back so many great memories. xo
