These photos were taken in Gruyere, Switzerland at the end of the summer. This was easily one of my favorite stops on the vacation I took with my Mom (I turned her missing me while I'm away at college into regular mom&daughter trips to Europe). We stumbled upon this little town quasi-accidentaly when we needed a stretch on the five hour drive to Bern. Maybe my love for this little town was not really all that surprising considering the well known fact that I like anything related to (free) food- even the little cheese samples (yes, Gruyere, as in that gruyere). 

 The town itself couldn't have been more than a square mile in size nor could it have housed more than 200 people at one time. Therefore it instantly gave off that intimate, quaint Starts Hollow-like feeling, like everyone knows everything about everyone else and could easily discuss it with the neighbors over coffee (or cheese fondue) for hours on end. To me it resembled Ireland in the fact that everything around was so lush and green, and that there was a legit castle right in the middle of the square. Ok, I've never actually been to Ireland. But one time I saw an editorial in W magazine set in Ireland, and this is exactly what it looked like. 

So I think it's Ireland.
