I lived the good life in Costa Rica.
I left my heart in Paris...
and pretended to be a queen at the Castles of Bellinzona.
I held up a tower from falling.
And felt the magic of Florence as I walked her streets...
I studied the ruins of Pompeii.
And questioned if Ravello, Italy was Heaven.
I fell in love with Positano...
before I swam inside the Blue Grotto while a mermaid sang to me.
Anacapri's majestic beauty took my breath away, and filled my eyes with tears.
I stood amongst the ghosts of gladiators.
And wished for a return as I threw a penny into the Trevi.
I carefully wandered the rich rooms of the Vatican.
And took a scooter and watched the Euro Cup Final at Circus Maximus.
I found some of my favorite friends in Spain.
Then slept for a couple of hours before running with the bulls in Pamplona.
San Sebastian brought sunshine, sand and tapas.
Where to next?? I'm not sure, but the next adventure awaits...
Happy New Year!

Such beauty, thanks for sharing :)

I literally want to take your exact trip (Europe). If you did a post on where you went, where you stayed, where you ate....I would book the same trip. It looks amazing and beautiful and perfect. I hope it felt that way!!!
Happy New Year!

These photos are amazing. I think that Paris is the next stop for my hubs and I. I know what you mean about questioning whether it's Heaven or not. When we honeymooned in Maui, I seriously felt like I WAS in Heaven…such a surreal feeling!!! Happy New Year! x
You look so effortlessly classic and stylish in all of your vacation pictures. You've inspired me to to look a little less like a homeless vagrant when I travel. :)
Looks like you had an amazing year. There is nothing better then travel with the person you love! Cheers to 2013!
Such amazing pictures! Happy New Year!

Your pictures are amazing! I would give anything to travel like that and see those places. I really hope to soon because this World is just so beautiful and you captured so many things perfectly! I absolutely love your blog and your style!
Amazing photos!! I also made a wish for a return at the Trevi fountain ;)
What kind of camera did you use and did you do all those places in one trip or were those several different trips throughout the year? What an experience!
Awesome adventure and a great way to look back over the past year.
Love looking at your beautiful vacation pictures!
