Hotel Iaccarino Sorrento

OK, so we're living on an Olive Farm for a while now.<br>Bohemian? Yes<br>Practical? Only when its sunny and only when its not olive picking season.<br>So what season is it now? Olive picking and its raining.<br><br>Welcome to our own little corner of Glastonbury<br>

... just got that. Does it?) Anyway, that's my favorite kind of mozzarella. And it said it had pomodorini -- little tomatoes. I was psyched. This was for sure going to be the best pizza yet. But then it arived. And it didn't have any sauce. I was so bummed. I kept swearing. Out loud. The waiter told me a side of pizza sauce would be cold so I just sucked it up. <br><br>Until.<br><br>I took a moment.<br><br>I said to myself, "Josie, a margherita pizza is 3 euro. You love pizza. This is ...

... the town decimated but preserved from Mt. Vesuvius erupting in the first century. Throughout the week, we had the pleasure of being wined and dined by Sophie&#8217;s parents and we had some amazing food, the seafood was stellar.<br><br>Positano Pictures<br>http://picasaweb.google.com /Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091030Positano?auth key ...

... umbrella and raincoat got soaked through to our underwear! Next day it rained hard too but did not mind a lazy day with no sightseeing. The city of Naples has a few nice areas but is a really dirty city and one day of sightseeing was plenty. Seeing Naples and Mt. Vesuvius from a distance is the best way to see them but south of Naples and the Almafi coast is not to be missed.

... the side.<br><br>The barriers along the road are also very very short, if I was standing next to it they would probably come up to just over my knee. If a bus hit into it, Im sure it would just assist to flip the bus right over the edge. Oh and the bus drives so close to the edge. Makes for an entertaining drive along the amalfi coast! <br><br>Friday 2nd Oct<br><br>Today we checked out of our hotel and caught a train to Naples. From here we got on a connecting train to Rome.<br><br>

... we entered a small grocer and purchased some wine to take back and enjoy in our cabin. We found that a bottle of wine cost 2 to 7 euros, which was a lot cheaper than a bottle of Italian Chianti or French Bordeaux at $35-40 USD in the dining room. Although they were good, they weren't unique! As a practice, we've always enjoyed drinking locally made wines wherever we've traveled. <br><br ...

... It will be a bit weird at first to teach to 10 students in a room which can handle 100 or more. I'm sure that we'll get used to it. We welcomed our first student today. Whitney made it in around noon time. Unfortunately, her suitcase did not come with her, so she has a bit of hassle to work through. The airline promises delivery tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. Audrey has befriended her already ...

... from the downtown. The bus took us to an 'inlaid wood factory'. It was an upsell tour - kind of disappointing - but it was nice to see the craftsmanship. Sorrento is a picturesque hillside town located alongside the Mediterranean. It was hustle bustle with cars, Vespas (scooters), and lots of people sharing narrow roads, old bridges over huge gullies, cliffside views, palm trees, town squares, and little shops.

... remain, along with a brothel which has pictorial frescos which acted like a menu for customers of different languages or unable to read, amazing, with rock beds in small rooms. Apparently it is twice the cost to have the youngest lady, thus the picture has a man with 2 penises to symbolise this. They do love a phallic symbol, which are suppose to bring you luck as a it is life. There are penises all around the city in the top of buildings and one in the pavement on ...

... and a lot of walking on cobblestone streets but well worth the visit. It was amazing to see the size of a town built thousands of years ago with large villas with private pools, ampitheathers and gardens and so much destruction that occurred so quickly. We have pictures of several bodies covered by the ash that have been preserved. It's Monday and ...
