Positano

We drove down to Positano today. It was a gorgeous drive (more on that later) and a beautiful day. We really lucked out as the weather has been a bit overcast (or raining) for most of our time here in Italy. However, in Positano it was in the mid-60's and clear. Some of us dipped our feet in the Mediterranean and walked on the rocky beach.

This is just before we arrived in Positano. The town is built into the side of a cliff, you can see the houses and buildings in the background.

However, before our arrival, we were following Steven who was following his GPS to Positano. It took us on roads that were obviously built prior to motorized vehicles. Our poor little borrowed Ford Focus barely made it through. Debbie's constant exclamation was: Steven James Wagstaff! There were times when we had only inches of clearance on either side of the car. Shortly after this photo we suffered a minor scraping on the front passenger fender. As Debbie said, the car was not made to bend in the same way the road bends. It was my favorite part of the trip to Italy, until we actually saw Positano.

And THEN Positano became my favorite part of the trip to Italy so far. We all enjoyed the sun and the time to just walk lazily along the beach.
