Happy Tuesday

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!

Happy Birthday to a very special girl...

a girl that's been with me through it all...

from high school years to college, it would have not been the same without you... (and you too sarah) 

(I probably wouldn't have gotten a 5 on my AP tests if it weren't for you....)

You are the girl I always look to for advice

or to make me happy when my life is in shambles...

You are the girl that I experience new things with... and you always have been there for my life's most monumental events (our first paychecks, ever! ^)

So again... Happy Birthday Kaitlyn. You are by far one of the best people I know.

To say that you are my best friend is the understatement of the century...

You are the sister I never had...

You're sometimes the mother I often need...

The reason why I can stumble so fearlessly into adventure...

Is because she's always there.

Cinque Terre, Italia

Caio from Italia!

Our charming villa. 

It had the best panoramic view of the Riviera. 

Monterosso, Cinque Terre 

And then we ventured to Lucca...

And stumbled upon some antique goods

Nazi medals from WWII

Anna Karenina!

Being silly at the antique market...

And then we went bike riding along the city wall. And stopped at a lookout to drink some champagne...

Funny story: I was sitting on this table directly near this inscription and didn't even notice. I guess I was meant to be there.

And then we stopped by the Leaning Tower before our flight. 

Ciao Italia! I will miss your food!
