Today was more of a travel day. We spent roughly 5 hours driving south to the Naples region. We plan on visiting Pompei all of Friday before ferrying down to Sicily for the weekend. Since we only had roughly an afternoon to do anything, we drove along the western coast of Italy towards the town of Amalfi. It is rather touristy and quite the vacation hot spot. Along the coast were large cruise ships and fancy yachts. Hotels came with beach-front property to offer their patrons. We did not go to any of the beaches. We simply rode along the coastline soaking in the view.
In Amalfi, we went a small restaurant away from all the hustle and bustle of the marinas. The food was excellent as well as the nice family running the cozy spot off a side street. The food was delicious, and it included many water traveling specimen giving the location of Amalfi.
First course (left to right): Jordan-marinated seafood, Derek-mussel soup, Jack-grilled vegetables
Main course: Jordan-grilled fish
Derek: Homemade pasta with mussels and clams
Dessert: Canoli (after I spotted them in a window on the walk up to our dinner spot)
i have to abort your blog. i am becoming quit covetous and the Bible tells me that is wrong. but while i am having a cold heart, i hope your shoes give you more blisters because so far, this trip seems like it's straight out of fantasy land, and that is simply not fair. En broma! (jk) Glad you're having fun! I hope those canolies were as delicious as they look!
ReplyDeletehow did that cannoli compare to termini bros? or is it not even comparable?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if all you were going to eat was pizza. Great job on the food choices. Everything looked quite delicious and by your descriptions, I bet they were. Miss you.
