An Italian birthday…

We celebrated Ian’s birthday last weekend.We had intended to spend the day in Positano, but in true Ian & Valen fashion we overslept and missed the ferry (which turned out being alright since we had been looking at the outdated ferry schedule anyway!). We decided instead to spend the day in Sorrento walking around the many tiny streets with shops and enjoying the amazing views of the ocean. The day was really cold and windy although still sunny and as we made our way around town we realized how familiar it all felt. Even though we are thousands of miles away from ‘home’, this place still feels right.

Our apartment in Sorrento has been great– We look forward to our quick exchanges with Rosa, our walk down into town, and even our walk back uphill. All this walking has made it easy to justify all the good food we’ve had! Our stay here, though, is coming to an end in just a few more days and as we made plans to leave Sorrento for Greece, I began to feel a bit sad about leaving Italy behind. It makes you realize how easily one can adapt to new circumstances. Our adventures in Greece, however, are sure to be filled with new and exciting lessons.
