My new friend!




The trip would not have been the same without my new friend Kamil. I met him in Assisi and he came up to enjoy the amalfi coast with me. He showed me how and what TRUE italians ate, he picked the most amazing wine and he helped translate for me whenever I had no clue what people were saying (or visa-versa)......we spent hours talking over dinners and taking walks by the river at night drinking wine..... talking with Kamil is sometimes like reading a book-but your eyes don't get tired.....
he helped make Amalfi even more beautiful--if that's possible......

Wine and Drugs?






You just might think after 2 weeks with the bus people friends--I might have had enough, but that is just not the case. In the beautiful town of Amalfi, there was an open roof bus that went to the top of the mountain to an incredible town called Ravello....I hopped on it and I was home--there I was again with old bus people----enjoying the view up the cliffsides to the top of the incredible town that would take your breath away......I found at the top---the reason that italians might be so happy...
Wine and Drugs?? They were so obvious about it, so after being truly appalled----- I went in.......and met the most wonderful italian who began to offer me wine tastings and feed me incredible cheese and homemade bread------ok- I bought the wine, but I stayed away from the drugs.....:)
