Pompeii and last day in Sorrento

 

We started our day with a trip to Pompeii.  We took the train and walked down.  We decided to just do the walking tour.  It was the hottest freaking day.  But it was really cool to walk around.  This blog post is going to be very very picture heavy.  I am pretty much doing a Pompeii picture dump.  Until I get to lunch, snacks and late night dinner.  








The were doing a dig while we were there.  














The shire to a woman




After a hot day of walking around, we were starving.  So we went to the Hotel Vittoria.  They were so busy, they had a wedding inside.  I had these beautiful scampi on my pasta and Ronnie had his favorite mussels and clams etc.  The meal was delicious.  When we were done we walked around the markets in Pompeii before getting the train back to Sorrento and spending our last night in the city we grew to love over the last few days.  





We also stopped at a little place right across from our hotel, had a beef carpaccio a limoncello spritz and a beer for Ronnie.  IT was so fun.  Then as we were leaving we heard another American, he invited us to sit with him, while his wife went shopping.  Turns out he is the owner of Hudson news.  he bought Ronnie a beer and me a prosecco.  What a cool guy.  






We finally went to the German Pizza place that we walked by all the time in Sorrento.  I kept thinking the name was Manneken Pi's like a pie.  But no....it really was Manneken Pis like the picture is showing.  Cheap beer, cheap wine, cheap pizza.  



Our last dinner in Sorrento.  We went to Cuco.  They had really amazing drinks and we had an upscale dinner.  it was very unique.  Ronnie had a beef dish and I had a pork with hazelnut.  It was a great way to end out meal in Italy.  Ronnie had his favorite, an old fashioned.  







We need to go back and pack and get ready to go back to Rome in the morning and the long flight home.  I was standing here waiting for him while he grabbed a beer from the kebob shop a block from our hotel.

Palermo day 2 & Corleone

  We started our day with breakfast at the B & B before heading off for the day.  meat, cheese, filled cornetto & espresso. We then met our driver from Welcome Pickups.  We drove to Corleone which was Ronnie's Great Grandparents hometown.  This is a picture on the drive down- it is about an hour drive.   Some random pictures of the town and Ronnie and his dad, Ron, in one of the Piazzas.   We then stopped in one of the churches to light candles and say prayers.  It was beautiful inside.   We tried walking  around a bit, the streets were narrow, and all seemed downhill so we did not get too far.  We were also getting hungry.  Ronnie's dad wanted pizza so we stopped for that.   There was a St. Anthony so I felt good with this place!  The girl here did not speak English so it was not good for my husband or his dad.  I did the ordering.  Normally in Italy it is one pizza per person especia...

Bologna Day3- day trip to Modena

 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...

GIrls Trip- Alaska

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).  ...
