Ciao!
This last week was truly a beautiful week, topped off with a quick weekend trip to the breath taking Capri! It was getting to be mid-week and the weather was still warm so we thought...perche no, another weekend of summer!!
The rest of the week in quick highlights, work is good but busy--always incredibly interesting. I have resumed playing tennis!!! yay! And I joined Rome's version of Equinox...yes, a fancy gym in Testaccio. But, I took a workout class taught in--ITALIAN--and while it was a bit challenging, I think my Italian will really improve quickly--gamba destra, gamba sinestra!
And then to the weekend--Capri is a little island in the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the coast from Sorrento. I have always heard about Capri being so posh and literally a home to the stars (yes, we saw Dolce and Gabbana's house and Armani's seaside mansion), but it also was just a really truly beautiful island.
To get to Capri, we took every kind of public transportation there was--train to Naples, taxi to the Ferry, Ferry to Capri, funiculare to the top of the hill and finally arrived at our breath-taking hotel which over looked the Fraglioni. Amazing.
We swam in the beautiful water, took a little chair lift to the highest peak on the island, relaxed and took un giro di isola on a boat!
I think I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Bellissima.
