Our good friend Aaron attends culinary school in Florence (livin' the life, right?!), so we stayed at his place which was delight! It was so nice not to have to share a hostel room with strangers or worry about bed bugs (yes, they DO exist!). Thank you again, Aaron!
What inspired me: The architecture and overall scenery
Stop #5 - Cinque Terre, Italy
Hands down, the most adorable town (5 towns, actually) that we visited. We hiked the trail from town to town and took in the beautiful colors of the cliffside houses and the sunset.
What inspired me: The colors in the houses and the natural beauty of the surroundings. Cinque Terre also has a romantic history with Via D'ell Amore being a section of the trail where couples lock away their love forever by carving their names in a padlock and throwing the key off the cliff.

Charlotte and I sitting at Vie d'ell Amore. So many padlocks! So much love!
The largest padlock I have ever seen. It translates from Italian to 'It was the year 1959, united in life and beyond. Franco and Rosanna. Valentines day 2008'. Probably the cutest thing I have ever seen! This old couple had been married for about 50 years when they did this! Nothing tugs at my heartstrings like two old people in love...
The cliffside houses painted in pastel colors. LOVE.
Stop #6 - Rome, Italy
To be honest, Rome was not my favorite city to visit. Maybe it was because of how dirty and crowded it was, or maybe it was the lovely pigeon poo that graced our presence. This does not diminish however, the beauty nor the importance in history of what Rome has to offer.
Trevi Fountain
Love the color of the rust on the door
The Colosseum
