"Positano....what brings me to Positano?"





Okay,
I know you all have seen "Under the Tuscan Sun" and if you haven't...you need to rent it....TODAY!

We finally made it to Positano.........remember the line in the movie where Diane Lang finally gets up the nerve to go visit the guy that she met that day and had the fling with...then they kept missing each other......when she goes to Positano to visit him.....she goes to his house...yells out his name and he comes out onto the veranda....and he asks...."What brings you to Positano?"....and she screams......"What brings me to Positano?" What brings me to Positano?"....then the another woman walks out onto the veranda......remember that scene? ...well we finally made it...and there is the little pink house upon the hill...that the waiter pointed out to us as the house where they filmed the movie...I will post another picture and point it out...but you can see this is the absolutely most magnificent town I have ever seen....pictures just can not capture it....
We are eating al fresco at the Positano Cafe...and the view was just incredible.....actually the entire Amalfi Coast was incredible....and I mean there is absolutely not another place on earth (that I have seen) that even comes close to this beauty...I don't even have enough words in my vocabulary to describe it...it was absolutely heaven!
They grow the most 'hugest' lemons down there and the limoncello was just to die for....and believe me we have tried several rounds of limoncello...but this was the best!
This is the place to visit when you come...can't miss this spectacular beauty! Of course the trade off is someone has to drive.....I'll let you talk to Piddle about that! Every book we have read..says it is best if you hire someone to drive you down the Amalfi Coast...don't try to tackle it yourself...well now we know why! But Piddle was a champ and got us there and back in one piece...and didn't get a ding on the car! He was truly amazing! You'll see!
Can't wait to take everyone on this adventure...has been the highlight of my year so far!
