Ira and I decided a trip with Bailey for her graduation would create a memory, something that won't age and get replaced, like a computer, mont blanc pen or car (not that a car was ever an option). A trip to the Amalfi coast was probably one of the best destinations and most cherished trip I have ever taken. The weather, the view, and the time with my daughter, was magical.

Bailey found a new friend.
On to Pompeii.....
|
 |
| This was our tour and guide; Antonio, through the streets of Pompeii |
 |
| Pompeii, in it's day had over 28,000 people...what archaeologists uncovered, was not a small town! |
 |
| Someone's house with a garden in the middle, very common. |
 |
| Pizza oven-they don't look too different by today's standards. |
 |
| A cast of someone who knew the end was in sight. |

A great day with Bailey Rose!
Sorrento.
 |
| Then off to Sorrento where the shopping was good and the lemons were abundant!!! |
 |
| This lemon grove was right in the middle of the town of Sorrento but felt like you were off in the italian country, except the sounds of the nearby train station. |
 |
Bailey, just resting in the lemon grove where they give samples of Lemoncello.
Gelato can be found EVERYWHERE!

Getting a ride down the mountain.
Naples...must start with da pizza.
This came from Da Michele (1870). There are two kinds of pizza...margherita and margherita with cheese on this simple menu. This restaurant was also made famous by Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love. |
 |
More of a selection at the pizzeria across the street. This one had only been around since 1930's.
 The streets of Napoli |

I get the guy with the dog and maybe the bird (on top of the dog)....but can you see the duck by the dog's tail???
I wish I could go back in time! |
