Another beautiful day.....

For the rest of our time in Sorrento our days consisted of walks in the through the cobblestone streets, exploring the city, wandering into stores and taking it all in.  Sorrento is a beautiful city, the streets are full of life and energy.  We found Italian watches, Italian meats and cheeses (yes we shipped an entire leg of Proscuitto home!) beautiful ceramics, gorgeous flowers and plants and so much more.....  We would typically stop at a fruit and vegetable stand and get "lunch" makings, taking it back to the hotel, cleaning it up and eating on our balcony with a nice bottle of local wine.  Duane and I agreed that there really isn't "bad" wine in Italy and we particularly loved trying the local wines.  We enjoyed local restaurants and took one more day trip to Positano, such a picturesque, lovely spot...here are some pictures of our last few days in Southern Italy.


Dinner at L'Antiqua Tratorria.
 This restaurant is nestled within the stores on the streets of Sorrento, a secret Garden inside.

Proscuitto!
