Translation: A trip to Vietri
Saturday, Jamie and I left Riann & Lincoln with a babysitter while we took a little adventure with our friends Jonathon & Sonja to Vietri, one of the first towns on the Amalfi Coast. Vietri is known for their ceramics. We stopped at a view point and took some pictures, then headed down to the cobblestone streets lined with shops. THIS is what I pictured when we talked about moving to Italy.
It was beautiful and quaint, a perfect place to spend the day. The views of the Mediterranean and the hillside town were amazing. The people were very friendly, offering us limoncello tastes at 10am, we stopped in a pasticceria (pastry shop) and had the most heavenly cannoli on the planet. I thought I had tried a few good cannolis before... this cannoli was out of this world delicious!! We bought some pottery to start a collection with, then we headed out for a drive further down a cobblestone hill to find lunch and head back home. We stopped at Vulcano Buono, a mall built to look like a volcano. From the inside it looks like a regular mall, from the outside it looks like they had built the mall, piled dirt on top and then planted grass. Interesting. This mall is also anchored by Auchan, a superwalmart-like store, so I bought a bunch of produce since the commissary didn't offer much in their produce section this week. We also had some gelato at the mall before we headed home... Thank goodness I've been walking so much with a diet like this!
