So, Day Two- the day of relaxation (aren't they all though, hehe)
We treated ourselves to some reclining by the pool with good books in hand, nibbling as we wished on the trifecta of bread, salami, and tasty cheese. MMM...
We got our exercise for the day by strolling the town of Praiano (very hilly, mind you),
stopping to eat amazing pizza at a restaurant overlooking the sea.
If eating fresh arugula atop pizza is elitist, then Emily and I are the elite of the elite!
Yum.
For the evening, we hopped a bus to the nearby town of Amalfi, which was to be a very different experience than when we had buzzed through tired and dirty on our arrival to the coast. We ate outside the front doors of Da Maria, a homey eatery near the square. As we dined, we tried to guess "tourist vs. native" and created imaginative story lines for each passerby, a favored past-time of ours.
We then tasted the most uppity gelato yet, (tip- the best always come from small, inexpensive gelaterias!) though we were quite satisfied all the same. We ended the evening with a stroll by the pier, pinching ourselves to find that, yes, we are still here :)
