Hello from Agerola, Italy! We have spent the last few days in this quaint little town near the Amalfi coast on the west side of Italy, also near the beautiful Island of Capri. We are having such a great time and there are so many stories to share but clearly not enough time to write them all and not enough words to describe some of the amazing places we've seen so far. When we first headed here from Naples, a nice woman named Carla gave us a ride to a town near Agerola called Pimonte. She hardly spoke any English. She took us to her house/hotel that her family runs to have her son take us the last few miles to where we would be staying. Their family was so nice and her son Antonio speaks very good English so he was able to better communicate with us.
We also got to tag along with a Dutch tour group to Capri which is an amazing island off the coast from Sorrento. We took a boat tour around the entire island and saw a place called the Blue Grotto. It's a small cave that you take a little boat into and the reflection from the sun outside on the water makes the water a beautiful blue color that illuminates the entire cave. It was amazing! Lara also got made fun of by the boat tour guide for taking so many pictures, but it was all in good fun.
I'll have to leave you with that for now... I do not have much time on the internet where we are staying so I will try to fill you all in more as soon as possible. The people here are so nice it is unbelievable. They love Americans (and other tourists in general) and have been showing us around the area, spots that we would not have known about on our own. I wish you all could be here to see it too.
Another (better) update coming soon! Stay tuned...
