Today we were headed out to see the sights of
The Amalfi Coast.
It's a winding road and barely two small vehicles can fit on the road....
the road itself is an adventure and so glad we had someone else do the driving.
And the driving was done by Alberico (Albe for short)
We stopped on our way out of Positano for a picture to see Positano from another advantage point...
Lonnie, Alberico and myself.
At the stop there was this man selling fruits and veggies..
Just a note to The Arroyo girls....I told you! Italian...fruit stand!
Before leaving Positano we stopped at a ceramic place where they make the ceramics right there...it was beautiful...table tops for dining tables to tea cups...gorgeous....
and yes, I did buy a couple of things...they will ship to me in about 4 months...first making them and then shipping by boat it will take some time.
Continuing our drive we came across two very large rocks that come up from the sea...they call the one on the right the Virgin Mary holding flowers...and it does look like that...very cool.
We are now approaching Amalfi
Alberico and myself with Amalfi behind us....just beautiful...Amalfi and Alberico.
(hahahaha)
Lonnie and I got out and walked a little in the city center and when done we decided to sit and have wine...was very nice and relaxing as it was a hot day.
Alberico said it was high 60's out but we swear it was more high 80's....
but was still a beautiful day...really nice when in shaded area.
We then headed to the town of Ravello for lunch with a view...the picture below was our view while having lunch and wine.
When lunch was over instead of bringing us mints they brought us Limoncello...
it's so tart that we just couldn't sip it so we did it as a shot...much better.
After lunch we walked around some and then met up with Alberico and headed back to Positano...
I was hot from the day, from the drive and probably from the wine that I fell asleep on the way back.
We had a wonderful day...when we got back to Positano we stopped by the store and then back to our Villa where we layed on the terrace and again ...me...falling asleep...but I got up, we had cheese and crackers for dinner and had a nice visit on the terrace.
Tomorrow we will explore Positano on our own...
no Alberico (sad face).
