Postcard #6: Sun, Sea, and Dead Poets

We arrived in Corfu early Friday morning after a late-night travel day, and the second we stepped off the plane, it already felt like the perfect weekend. We spent most of Friday and Saturday exactly how you'd hope to in a Greek island town… lying out in the sun, swimming, and eating the most incredible food. Everything felt warm and unhurried in the best way. Friday night, we went to dinner at a cliffside place right near our apartment, and the staff really took to us. They gave us amazing recs and even took shots with us! Saturday night, we found a place on the main street, and although it was a tad overpriced, we enjoyed people-watching and the beautiful scenery.

On Sunday, we explored both the old and new forts, took our time wandering through town, and just soaked in the last few hours before heading back to Florence. Also, I brought Dead Poets Society with me to read on the trip and finished it before dinner Saturday with a full-on emotional breakdown. Obviously, I watched the movie as soon as I got home, too, because crying once just wasn’t enough.

Corfu was simple and beautiful. A few days of sunshine, good food, and space to breathe.

With love,
