reunion with an old love
Last week, Beth and I went on a short trip to Elba with my family. The small island in the Italian Tuscany region is something like my second home, because my family and I vacationed there almost every year of my life. However, I hadn’t been there in almost four years because of my stint in the States. It’s hard to describe how much I missed this place and how excited I was to finally go back there. I was so busy enjoying the experience that I hardly took any pictures, let alone good ones. Beth did a way better job, which you can see here (and at the end of this post…). In the meantime, here are a few of mine:
The early morning sun shines on the village of Capoliveri.
An Opunita bears rich fruit near the village of Ripe Alte. The figs from this cactus taste delicious, but picking them without gloves is a bad idea...
An old man climbs the stairs to his home in the mountain village of Marciana.
This winery between Chiessi and Colle d'Orano on Elba's wild West Coast is one of my favorite places on the entire island.
