Knock...

























"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." -Jesus, Luke 11:9-10

Monday Morning Market

Every Monday morning we would get up early to go to the market and get our fresh produce for the week. Even after a tiring weekend, it was worth the busy morning. Beautiful stands piled high with delicious fruits and vegetables, cheeses and meats.

Plus, anything you would need from a general store - hair things, kitchen items, ribbon, fabric, shoes, clothes - you name it, they had it! A portable Italian Wal-Mart! And everything was so cheap! I miss paying 5 euro for a bag full of zucchini, tomatoes, oranges, kiwi...

I also miss shopping with the Italian ladies and seeing them pick out the best produce and chat with their friends.

Where the Waves and Mountains Meet

After our field trip to Naples, we headed to the Amalfi Coast! It was our last weekend to travel and we were excited to venture on a relaxing beach weekend before final papers and the test.

We arrived in Positano on Thursday afternoon, which was the town we stayed in for the weekend.













We spent Friday in the town of Amalfi.









And Saturday we went to the Island of Capri!

































I am so happy I got to experience the Amalfi Coast - Positano, Amalfi, Capri - what a weekend!



"Sweet the memory is to me
Of a land beyond the sea,
Where the waves and mountains meet,
Where amid her mulberry-trees
Sits Amalfi in the heat,
Bathing ever her white feet
In the tideless summer seas."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poem Amalfi
