Today, we had a nice slow morning in Alberobello, relaxing in our trullo and walking a bit around the town. The basilica at the end of our road is named after brothers Saint Cosmos and Saint Damian. They claim to … Continue reading →

While we all miss Minori, Alberobello already has a few things going for it that will make this stretch enjoyable in its own way. WiFi— I won’t get into all the technology troubles we ran into on that leg of … Continue reading →

Yesterday we left Minori and Paul checked off an item on his bucket list: he drove the Strada Statale 163, aka the Amalfi Coast Drive. Until this point we used a route that took us through the mountains and only … Continue reading →

Minori has been a great place for us to spend a week in Italy. If we never go back to Positano again, I’d be perfectly fine with that. But never returning to Minori would make all of us incredibly sad. … Continue reading →

Every night Minori has been hopping. We go to bed, whether it’s at midnight or after 2am, and there are children running about and adults socializing on the promenade along the water. The vitality of life in Italy seems to … Continue reading →

After a full day at the beach, last night we hiked from Minori to Ravello, an incredible town perched high above the water with beautiful views of the towns of Minori and Maiori below. Big D diligently counted the number … Continue reading →

It was so nice to wake up in Minori on our first full day in Italy. The sound of the crashing waves and beautiful view from our apartment can’t be beat. This is the perfect place to stay for the … Continue reading →

Today the kids and I met Paul in Italy for the beginning of our summer 2018 holiday. Paul has been here for a few days already, and he’ll blog about that experience shortly. Driving from Rome to Caserta, we passed … Continue reading →
