Last summer, I went to Italy with one of my best friends and her family. Finallyyy got around to posting the pictures. Check out our London and Paris adventures, as well as Mona’s senior pictures that I took along the way!

Here are a few iPhone snaps first that I posted on my Instagram, and then the photos I took with my DSLR after!

CINQUE TERRE

After Cinque Terre, we hopped over to Rimini where Mona’s extended family stays in this BEAUTIFUL home every summer.

Day Trip to San Marino:

This was probably one of my favorite parts of the entire trip. One evening we stopped by a local night fair and watched the dancing (and tried to participate), enjoyed the live music, had dinner, and shopped around.  Mona and I were OBSESSED with the music they were playing and asked the people working on the side of the stage if we could buy a CD, which we happily got to leave with! The band singing even gave us a shoutout as we walked away since they apparently didn’t get many young tourists there!

I also tried COW GUTS for the first time.

Mona and I had to shoot in Italy, so one evening we went accross the street from her family’s summer house and took some photos together.
