Positano Day 2 of Rome trip

Today I had the BEST orange EVER. Driving into Positano yesterday we drove past orange and lemon groves. We enjoyed the sweetest, freshest, juiciest oranges from the local grocery. They had lemons the size of a football. I wish I would have taken a picture.

Today we woke to beautiful blue skies. It was still pretty cold though.

This morning at breakfast the girls saw a stray cat sitting on the ledge eating some cat food that someone had left for it. They wanted to go outside and pet it. John enjoyed telling them that they shouldn't touch the cat. It probably had fleas and would probably bite them. I told them the cat won't hurt them and encouraged them to go on outside.

This is a picture of a terrified Lia, who really wants to touch the cat.

Here is Lily helping Lia touch the cat. Pitiful!

Today we stayed in town. It was a little dead. It was definitely still off-season. We found only about 20% of the shops open. This was fine because I spent too much money in the few stores I went into. I noticed that the closed stores had phone numbers posted on the doors so you could call the owners and make an appointment to shop there. We found a shop with clothes for children. The girls both got skirts that were handmade in the town.

I found the prettiest pottery that is handmade in Positano.
I bought two large pieces and he said he could ship them to us through the Box Shop for around 60 euros. We thought it was reasonable. Well, after waiting 12 days for them I called the shipping company only to find out they shipped them to my mom and dad's house in Indiana for a whopping $192.00. Oh my goodness! They had my German address but also the address for the credit card which they were supposed to use and the Indiana address associated with it. UGH!

The girls were super excited to play in the Sea. It was pretty cold out but they still got their feet in the water and ran around for about an hour. I think their feet were numb.

We ate lunch at the only place we could find open. It was the same place we ate last night!! We haven't done very well with nutritous meals on this trip. Lily and Lia had nutella crepes!

Here are several pictures of the town, the church with gold dome, and the beach.






Tonight we couldn't imagine eating at that same restaurant again. The hotel arranged for us to eat at a local restaurant. The restaurant picked us up and brought us back to our hotel when we were finished. How cool is that? The restaurant was pretty good. Lily enjoyed her meal of seafood risoto, a lot. I really wanted a salad but it turned out to be a little weird. I thought I ordered fish for my main course but ended up with small lobsters and pasta. It was good.

We capped off the night with several games of Uno and Skip bo.

Ciao!
