Friday, September 28, 2012:

Today was a semi-resting day.  We took the bus to Positano so Bob could return a little speaker he had purchased for his iPod.  We did find the store however the owner was having their "siesta time" and would not reopen until 4:30, 3 hours later.  These Italians do have the right idea regarding work!!

 Stopping at a fish market to purchase fish for dinner tonight.

The Italian version of a pine tree...

Our desert after lunch was a wonderful  sorbet inside a frozen lemon.  Excellent idea for desert in our bridge group!!

You may notice the corrosion on the hill above the town.  The highway is in the upper left of the picture/

The beach at Positano.  The ground is actually gravel and not fine sand.

A good example of the traffic along the main road. You notice the pickup with the door open, he is returning to his truck after stopping in the middle of the road and going into the store on the right. You notice all the traffic has stopped, but nobody honks their horn or seems upset.

The rest of the day was spent trying to find a store that sold new SIM cards for our telephones that we had purchased in the states before we left.  We eventually found the store (after several days and several stores) within walking distance from our apartment.

Tomorrow is another day of rest.  The temperature here is quite warm with very little wind resulting in warm evenings making sleeping difficult.  Yes, I know, stop complaining, at least it is beautiful scenery and no rain!!
