Italia, days two and three

Great day in Capri and Anacapri yesterday.  Our guide was a ton of fun, showed us much of the island.  We toured in a 1960 Fiat convertible.  Gorgeous views.  Beautiful weather.  Communicating isn't too difficult, since most Italians we've come in contact with speak English well.  Absolutely crazy drivers here on the southeastern coast, winding up and down the hills along the coast, with barely enough room for two cars to pass.

Our ride on Capri:

Today we toured Ravello, saw more breathtaking views and walked for miles.  Highlights- ceramics, jeweler specializing in cameo carving out of shell, and our tour of Villa Cimbrone.

Terrace of  Infinity at Villa Cimbrone and a plaque on a church built in 1212 by St. Francis of Assisi:



Tomorrow, off to Florence!
