An Italian, American, and Welsh girl get on a Boat...

First, unless you can whistle a happy tune while reading this, I recommend you push play to feel the atmosphere of the entire weekend.

My friend Selene invited me and our friend Elenor for a weekend on her island. Elba. I quickly accepted being someone who loves a good trip, and a crystal sea. Glad I did.



The trip begin with us discussing what song would represent the trip. We road tripped it to the sound of many great hits, including some Michael Jackson, JLo, and a bit of Jason Mraz. We even created games for ourselves, go through a tunnel and when the music comes back on, try to sing the same words. Selene is the winner.
Road trip!

 


The views every place on the island was something to be in awe about. It is one of those places where if you go with the right people, you can feel such contentment, there is no need for anywhere else in the world. Especially when that place has an around the world market, and you go three times in two days. Thai food, German beer, Spanish sangria, Mexican food, French biscuts, Italian olives, Irish beer, Finnish sweaters, English scraves, Native American pan flute, Argentinean steak, and American donuts. We girls can do it right!
Trying on British hats at the market.

Beach shadows...the best views


Add to this island, a road that wraps all the way around, and a grandma's house with a sea view to die for. A place you want to wake up every morning for coffee, smell the thousands of roses, and watch sailboats sail by. Give the island their own sweet perfume.  Throw in a Costa di Sole (Sun Coast.) You have yourself the best place in Italy.
Great Beach!

I love boats, and said this about 50times a day.

Gift to myself...island perfume
 
I just passed the one year anniversary of moving to Europe. It's hard to believe I have been living this dream for a year. Time flies. Next week, actually becomes the last week of my contract at the English school. WOW! So thankful I could be here, meet wonderful people, and see fantastic places.
 
Although the decision of whether to stay another year or return to America is still in the air, I must say, after a weekend of complete contentment, I know, no matter the decision, I will be ok. Don't Worry, Be Happy.
