Positano

…literally the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen…

Damn it, I want to go to Italy.

My fiance and I are planning to get married here and spend our honeymoon here. We want to be relaxed and explore a bit— I’ve never been to Italy but the pictures I have seen and stories I have heard about the Amalfi Coast sounded like the perfect location to get married! Yay!

…“Wow!” Was the first word that bounced through my mind as my friend and I were rounding the final bend that descended into the town. I wish we had more time to explore, but we were doing “the drive” along the Amalfi Coast and only had the day. I’m still absolutley amazed at how the Italians are able to get those buildings to stick against those seaside cliffs.

Someday, someday…

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!
