So So Cal

Travels in Italy

Its beginning to feel a lot like California.
Earthquakes to the north and wildfires to the east.

However we have survived so far, the greatest danger by far is crossing the street. The second great danger is traveling by cab.

Yesterday, we went by cab to the hill town of Ravello, a trip not for the faint hearted, but well worth it.


We had lunch in the restaurant Villa Maria, the items they use are largely from their own organic garden.

What you really pay for is the million dollar view.


Everywhere in this town is either up a steep hill or down a steep hill.

We then walked to Villa Cimbrone, where the English aristocracy had a hand in making the gardens more like English formal gardens. When I say had a hand in, that is just a figure of speech. My guess is that they did the pointing and the heavy looking on. 


The dessert menu at the Villa Maria had some things from their garden but also lots of decadent treats too.


Of course being in this area you have to go for Lemon.


Low fat, no calories, yeah! Right.


More fairy tales later.
