Mediterranean Memories

I was going through photos on my mac (gotta love iphoto) and realized that I had not posted any photos of our trip to Europe this fall.  We took the children out of school (educational, yes?)  -I turned the big 40, and it was a fabulous place to celebrate with my family.  The shore line is of course, so different form the New England Coast-   someday we would love to rent a house on the Amalfi Coast for the summer-maybe a house swap?    Sorrento would be perfect.  We visited Spain, France ,Italy and Monaco.  Italy, was at the top of the list.

Below, it the charming little port in Marseille, France

This is the town of Cassis- so beautiful, the colors are so inspiring! The food was wonderful- and did I mention the wine?

You can't go to Cote d' Azur without a stopping by a vineyard ....wine tasting, a definite highlight! 

Monaco was fabulous....yes, saw the casino:)

 Below, is Italy- Livorno

Leaning Tower of Pisa - had to do that photo- right of passage :)

 

Coliseum- Rome- amazing!

Amalfi Coast- breathtaking in person

Can't go to Italy without bringing back real limoncello :)
