Random Things

Apologies for the tons of new posts (and the few more to go). We're about to head to Tuscany tomorrow, where we expect to have limited internet access, so I'm trying to catch up our blog up to the present while Amy is sleeping. I tend to not need as much sleep as she does.

A few random things I've learned about the Amalfi Coast:

1) The dogs are seriously like residents here. They go out in the morning and wander around the streets all day, catch scooter rides with the locals, go right in the open-door restaurants, act snobby towards the rude tourists, and then come home at night. The locals even protect them from new police that come in and try to enforce the crazy pet laws. Here is a shot of Amy with the mayors of Positano and Sorrento:


2) The legal driving age is 4.


3) The cats have no fear of heights.


4) Amalfi has a local who's career is fishing the hats of tourists out of the marina (we were eye-witnesses).


5) The men like blondes (notice the thumbs up). They all think Amy is from Holland.

  1. I love the local pet photos!
    And, yes, it's hard to find anyone that knows how to use the zoom feature on a camera. I'm a big fan of a mini-tripod and the self-timer.
    Love the blogging, too!
