our last couple days in positano

Involved walking through the charming town, shopping, eating meals, resting, working out, and relaxing. 

One of my fond memories of Positano was the conversation we had with our favorite waiter Michael at the hotel during breakfast. This quiet and humble man told Gary and me about his ninety-year-old grandfather, who greatly enjoyed tinkering in the garden. They were growing all sorts of vegetables and fruits. It was so obvious how much this man loved his grandfather. I didn't have to go to Italy to find this kind of family love and closeness, but this is what struck me most about the people in this small town environment. 

Gary and I had been on the road for some time and so one day in Positano we decided to stay at the hotel and relax. We met a sweet newly married couple at the hotel pool and chatted with them for some time. We went to the work out room and exercised together, which was so much fun. We used to do this before we had kids. We took naps. Then that night we took the shuttle down the winding mountain into the town. We shopped around and I found some pretty clothes, including a one-of-a kind handmade jacket. That evening I thought about how lucky I was to have beautiful clothes and such a blessed life to be able to buy a dress or jacket if I liked it.

We ate dinner at a restaurant right on the beach, and afterwards I looked for beach glass until it was too dark to see anything. It was a perfect day.
