Per your request for Pix of Capri and Anacapri (Italy!)







The trip to Italy is now more than two weeks behind me but I'm still thinking of it on an hourly basis and reliving it through my pictures and videos that I took.


Quite a few people have asked to see pictures of Capri and Anacapri. They are the two towns on the tiny Isle of Capri, a vacation spot for kings, queens, literati, and movie stars for centuries and even millenia! We thoroughly enjoyed our day there although it turned out to be more expensive than I originally thought. Part of that dilemma was that I gave a man a 20 euro bill and didn't get the right change, but didn't notice it till too late!! Also, Crystal and I each got a cappucino at the fancy outdoor restaurant and made the mistake of not asking in advance how much they would be. They turned out to be about $8.00 apiece and it was the end of out trip so we were not happy about that!




Anyway, enjoy these beautiful pix that I took!

Chantdoc Returns from Fabulous Italian Sojourn!




The trip to Italy is over and what a glorious trip it was! We started in Rome and were there for four days, then we moved on to Florence for three days. The final five days were spent in the Sorrento (Naples) area which is very tropical---my favorite! While in Sorrento we made day trips to Positano, Capri, Anacapri and Pompeii. Over the next few days (or weeks) I'll send you some of my best photos with commentary. If there is something particular you'd like to know about it, just email me or put a comment on the blog. The picture on the left is from the magical isle of Capri. The picture on the left is from the amazing Trevi fountain in Rome, the one about which "Three Coins in the Fountain" was written. We walked all over Rome to find this famous fountain and it was well worth it! More tomorrow!
