Positano

Positano was absolutely unlike any place I have ever seen before. I really dislike when people say that, but it's seriously so true. It seems impossible that so many colorful homes and shops can be built literally into the cliffy hillside along the coast, but it really was stunning. The locals are more than friendly and seem to know everyone, where to go, and the best place for dinner, which we went to twice. You're also in a prime location for visiting other towns along the Amalfi coast like Ravello and Amalfi, which we certainly did! 

Enjoy my last post of photos from my year in Europe. It's very odd my stay has come to an end after meeting kind people, tasting new cuisines, and touring new countries, but I'm slowly starting to adjust back to life in the good ol' USA.

Cefalu

Cefalù is a cute small beachy town in the Province of Palermo, situated on the Northern coast of the island, which I mean quite literally if you had not gathered that from the photographs. We hopped on the train Sunday morning, riding for about 40 minutes east of Palermo, toward the middle of the island. In Cefalù, we had no idea what to expect and were blown away by the towns utter beauty. Upon arrival we climbed up a mountain (no exaggeration) to get an amazing view, from both sides, of the clear Tyrrhenian sea and terra-cotta roofed town that sits below. After our hike up, we moseyed down the cliff, starving, and searched for lunch. After enjoying a delicious leisurely lunch we explored the rocky path near the sea, before getting caught in the rain and absolutely soaked, quickly seeking refuge in the main church before hopping on the next train back to Palermo! Despite the rain, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful island of Sicily even though we only saw two areas. I'm still very eager to head further east and more south to the town of Augusta, a main harbor in the province of Syracuse, where my family hails from.

Enjoy! xx
