Can’t believe how hard it is to start writing these things. And that’s why I am so early with this one. Well, better late than never, right?

Okay, I guess the real reason why I haven’t been able to write this before, laziness aside, was because I couldn’t figure out what to write about. I simply can’t write about one particular memory, experience or day that was above others, because everything was perfect all along. But I might as well try putting something together. So the way I will be ranking my experiences is the amount of happiness I felt in the moment.

So, as many others, I also enjoyed Cinque Terre very much. I could have never imagined a place so exquisite. While sitting in the top floor of Belforte Ristorante (or something like that) with Emma in Vernazza and listening to the precious silence where only the voices of happy conversations could be heard I could say was a time where I was feeling the most happy. And that’s funny, because it was only a brief moment and we just sat there, watching the sea and sensing the atmosphere. But well, I guess that’s where true happiness comes from, the little things.

The next memory of much happiness was on, I guess Tuesday? That was when we went to Porto Venere. It was such a good night. Everything was calm as we sat by the sea, having fun as a group. Everyone seemed to be happy. Okay, I maybe lied a little in the beginning, I actually have a favorite moment, or I guess an experience. And that was when we went swimming with Ossi. Though the water and the air were quite cold, it was still amazing, to swim in the crystal clear water. Those crystal clear waters are something we don’t really have here in Finland.

Now since I have reached and already went over the minimum of words this essay was meant to contain, I’m going to end it here. Though someone already wrote about this topic, I’m going to do it too. I want to thank you all. The things we saw were indescribably beautiful and luckily they can be seen again. But the things we felt such as the feeling of togetherness and friendship could only be felt this way in this particular group of ours. And that hardly ever can be recreated. So, I want to thank everyone for this one of a kind of an experience, you made it perfect.
