Dreaming of Capri

On this cold winter's day it seems like the thing to do.

This summer I had an amazing vacation in 

Italy with daughter Kim and my granddaughter

 Kristina. We were celebrating Kristina's 

graduation from Texas A&M. They flew

 here to Ft. Lauderdale from Dallas a day

 ahead so that we could all fly to Italy 

together. Our first stop CAPRI. Actually
Rome airport, then a driver to Naples
then a ferry to Capri, then the shuttle
to the hotel. So a long day. 

But this made it worth it! 

This is the view from our room.

Yes! Amazing!

The trip was magical! Everything about it.

The views, the food, the sights, and best of

all was the people we met that made the trip

 such a memorable experience.

 It all just clicked.

Capri is a beautiful island off the 

coast of Italy. It's part of the Amalfi coast.

 Breathtaking. 

 We would walk the small alleyways into 

town. Good steep hillside exercise that 

helped to offset

all the good food and wine. Of course

there was pizza for lunch.

 The weather was cool enough for 

walking everywhere.

Every turn and step 

(and there were plenty of steps)

was filled with flowers and fruit trees.

This is a real lemon tree trellis. I 

tried to think of a way to bring one home.

The lemon trees were everywhere. 

 Every home had a yard that was put to good 

use. Each one had a beautiful garden filled 

with vegetable, herbs, and fruit. 

I loved looking at them all.

 Just one of the many beautiful garden doors.

We always chose our restaurants with a view.

While siting at an outdoor cafe we were

able to enjoy this Catholic Church celebration.

Wonderful to see and hear the splendor.

Back in our room each evening to enjoy the 

sunsets and freshen up and change for dinner.

Then it's back into town for more adventures.

The nights in Capri were just that! 

Our fabulous evenings in Capri...next post.

Cheers!
