My family has been in town for the last 2 weeks and we spent most of the first week in Southern Italy around the Amalfi Coast. This part of the country is really beautiful and one of my parent's favorite parts. My roommate Eugenio is from Naples so he actually drove my family and me down to Naples. We met up with his family for lunch at this fabulous restaurant that no tourist would probably find if they were on their own. Just this amazing amount of good Italian food. This was actually the first time that I had the chance to meet Eugenio's mom and sister.
After lunch, my family and I took the train from this area to Sorrento. We spent about two days there. We also went to the island of Capri (home of the pants and Caprese salad). On Capri we visited the Blue Grotto which was this small cavern on the island where it's completely dark except for the beautiful blue water coming lighting the whole cave.
After Sorrento, we spent a few days further south in Positano and Amalfi. These cities were beautiful and were built right on the coast. The views were really breathtaking. It was definitely an area where you could just chill and relax, and that we did. We had a beautiful hotel overlooking the water. We had lots of different food, many which had some sort of lemon in it. My parents also bought some paintings of the coast by this well known painter who spends everyday painting the coastline.
