Day on the water
We woke up our first day in Sorrento and there were all of these banners hanging. We figured out that they were celebrating the Ukrainian women. All of the banners were blue and yellow and featured some type of wheat product.
We then went to Bar Fauno where we got breakfast every day. Look at how much food they gave us for breakfast. We learned after the first day and told them on subsequent days not to bring so much food out. We did not want to waste the food. But we got croissants, toast, eggs, tomato, more bread,
We wanted today to go and lay by the water. So we eventually found out way down to the marina and went to one of the bathing platforms.
You are able to go rent a chair and an umbrella. The weather was prefect! It was not too hot, nice breeze. We met 2 people from Australia who we talked to the entire day. We literally just sat there and enjoyed our afternoon. We could order drinks, lunch, anything.
The water however was very very very cold. Ronnie braved it....I just went in to my knees and watched. It was too much for me! Our new Australian friends kept him company. It was interesting to hear how strict COVID precautions were in Australia. They could not even leave their homes, or if they did they had to stay within a 5 mile radius of their homes. It was very different for them and way less freedom then we had in the US.
After we got back from the beach, took showers and relaxed a bot in the room we went back out exploring Sorrento and walking around. As we walked around we came upon the restaurant. Again, we just played Italy stumbling along. Found an amazing meal. I had a beautiful prosecco, Ronnie had his beer.
I had this amazing spinach soup and Ronnie had these amazing mussels as starters. Again the most fresh, delicious foods.
For dinner Ronnie had veal and I had their special pasta of the day with tuna, tomato, lemon and it was just amazing! We laughed, our new Australian friends were at the same restaurant as we were leaving.
We again went to our favorite bar. I was doing a little shopping, Ronnie had already got there and got a table. To our luck, there was a great band playing. We had such a great time. People just stopped in the square and started to dance. At one point fireworks starting going off in the distance. The night was magical! This has been the best vacation I had ever been on so far. Italy has not disappointed in any way, and Sorrented has sealed the deal of happiness for us.
The necklace I am wearing Ronnie bought me from a local shop
We started off the day sort of late. Decided to do a day trip to Modena, round trip was under 17 euros total for us both. We walked to the train station which is literally like 5 minutes from our hotel grabbed a cappuccino water and apricot filled croissant and off we went. We arrive in Modena less than a half hour later. look at the pretty streets of Modena Another day another piazza! But we were in Modena and I was in search of balsamic...a tasting a something. The first store I went in to had very, very high end balsamic you could do a tasting for a price and the cheapest bottle started at 60 Euro. This was not our balsamic market. This was a little above where we wanted to buy and we have tasted the really expensive stuff before. But then we found a reasonable store. Giuseppe Giusti offers free tastings of their balsamic at all different levels and their vermouth. It was all fantastic. We decided on some i...
This new place is Asian town was a fantastic experience with some wonderful friends. Ronnie and I got a call dear old friends John, Dave and Dana- from Youngstown and now living in Cleveland- to meet for lunch at a new place called YY Time. This restaurant is a cool new concept in Asia Town. You sit and order through a QR code. Each seat has its own code. They have street food, skewers, Asian soups, bubble teas and milks so many great choices. We each ordered an then shared as we love to do. I cannot wait to return! Here are the great items we tried that day. Salty crispy chicken and a fruit bubble tea Rice Noodle soup with braised brisket and one of the specialty crossing the bridge soups. The noodle soup was amazing. The flavor of all the broths were just amazing. My husband and I split ours and It is definitely big enough to split. And then we all tried a little bit of each others to just have a taste...
I know know, this blog is all about the fun stuff I do with my husband, but this one blog post is going to be about an adventure I had with the one person I have known the longest in my life- my sister! The trip started with Angela texting one day asking if I wanted to see the Aurora Borealis....I thought sure why not. And then we booked a trip and here we are. As we were planning I remembered an old friend from my semester at American lives in Fairbanks so I reached out to him for suggestions. He offered some great ideas on places to go, things to do, and places to eat. Sadly we will not be able to see him and his wife, because they leave for vacation right after we got in town. So the adventure for me started with a 7:50 text that my flight changed and a rerouting. I left Cleveland at 1:40 pm and met up with my sister in Seattle at around 7 pacific time for a quick dinner before we parted ways for our flights to Fairbanks (different airlines). ...
