Some of you who have been loyal followers of my blogs and other assorted ventures, probably already know the story. For those new to me, and this blog, I am reposting a series of journals from a very important journey I took with a very special friend seven years. It was a time in my life where I was dealing with loss, change (some unwanted), confusion, and quite honestly lack of purpose.
I recently looked back at the things I wrote about in reflecting on the trip with my friend Joe. I still appreciate greatly how much it put me on the track to where my life is today, a much happier and peaceful place.
Besides the personal storyline, I hope you find some of the locations we stopped off at interesting, as they are not the typical touristy locations in Italy.
The story was delivered in several parts so feel free to click on the links below, best by following the sequential order.
So I hope you followed along on the journey from the Mediterranean coast to the Adriatic coast of Italy. It was still powerful to revisit that trip with my friend Joe, as the memories are forever, and the life changing impact is as well.
The following is a list of the towns we stopped at along the way. Many of them we did not stay over but spent a few hours and enjoyed at least one meal.
Rome (Jewish ghetto area for dinner)....Maiori(stayed two nights)....Ravello....Minori...Amalfi coast...Porto di Amalfi.....Positano....Amalfi....Cetera....Salerno....Quaglietta....Polignano a Mare...Conversano...Taranto....Alberobello...Matera(stayed in cave hotel)....Vietri sul Mare.....Castel Gandolfo(stayed one night
As always more to come, as we traverse our way through our 50s and 60s and dare I say 70s and 80s. Live and let live as one of my friends always says. As I always like to say...... until next time....Sunshine Always!
