With its black stone beaches, the blue-green sea water, the streets covered with veils of bougainvillea, Positano might be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Sunday was a free day from the rigors of intellectual searching. Today, we visited Positano, a small city on the Almafi Coast. Here are a few shots from our fun day of sea bathing, shopping, and eating Italian cuisine!
Here, I am standing in front of my first view of Positano.
If you are thinking of planning a romantic getaway, Positano is the place. On the right,
the homes and hotels of the city are nestled into the mountain side. On the left,
the rugged terrain of the mountains and spotty groups of pines rise majestically
from the turquoise waves. In the bay below, yachts and ships dock slightly off shore while
sun kissed people frolic in the waves.
My NEH friends, Nadine, Allison, and Duzie (left to right, Teri is behind the camera)
lounge under large umbrellas. We are taking a quick break from splashing in the waves.
This is the walkway that led from the beach front back to the village.
The natural lattice work helped support the colorful blossoms of bougainvillea. Beautiful!
For lunch, I ordered a Caprese Salad (pictured above).
The fresh taste of the tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil,
balsamic vinegar, and basil created a savory culinary experience!
Just describing it makes my taste buds water!
