Traveling through Rome and Sorrento with Mike has been a dream. We wander in and out of big old things and beautiful panoramas of coastline and cityscapes with cameras in hand. For me, a new Nikon D60, a present from Mike, ensures that the second month of pictures will be even more amazing than the first.
To date, we’ve seen the Coliseum, peeked in at the Roman Forum, visited countless Piazzas in Rome, had gelato, cappuccinos, red wine, rose prosecco, limoncello and absinthe. We’ve had the best pizza in the world in Naples and met the friendliest waiter at a restaurant near the water below the town of Sorrento. We’ve wandered around Sorrento and Capri finding the places I visited when I was 14. Through a stroke of luck, the rain held out long enough for us to visit Capri and Pompeii, making the trip complete for me. I will never doubt the power of a manifestation board because it truly felt like it took measures beyond my control to make this dream a reality. A picture of Capri was posted and a year or two later I found myself standing with Mike at the exact spot the photo was taken from. Wonderful. I say gratzia to the world.
p.s. They say Paris is the most romantic city in the world, but I saw more people necking in Florence and in Venice than in the entirety of France… huh…
I’m describing my time in Italy with Mike in three segments (over the next three posts)…
Part 1 – Big Old Things in Rome
Part 2 – Sorrento and Capri on the Mediterranean
Part 3 – Pompeii and the Sistine Chapel
