Positano

I was working on an excavation in Pompeii for a summer when a friend and I decided to go check out Amalfi. Of course, it was wonderful. The bus trip was not to be attempted by those who suffer from motion sickness!
On the way back from Amalfi, we hopped off the bus in Positano, walked down all those stairs from the road and paid the rather steep cost to be allowed onto the beach. We basked in the sun for, oh, about half an hour when out of nowhere, big black rain clouds rolled in and a severe lightening storm erupted. It was chaos! Everyone was stuffing their possessions into their beach bags, knocking over the umbrellas and running for shelter in the snack bars. So, our Positano day was cut a bit short. I did get some cool photos of the clouds hanging low over the terraced houses, though – I should really scan them one day!
