Moving on to Minori!

It was raining a bit today when we started our journey! We were headed to Tremonti to visit an authentic farming space! Isadora is a totally self-sufficient farmer ... and ... he even brews his own wine! He is also a musician!

We were supposed to have a 40 minute visit but it turned into almost two hours. It was so enjoyable to learn about the way he lives his life! He is not married, but has a sparkle in his eye. And, he was clearly enjoying the opportunity to connect with all of us! Our guide was trying to translate, but Isadora's enthusiasm was hard to keep up with.

We learned that the pagodas are made from chestnut trees (because they are strong and grow straight and tall as we stated before) and allow the land to be worked ... above and below.

We entered into the maze of narrow streets of the town, only to learn that these mazes were intentional! They allowed people protection from the pirates! The "ladies of the night' would lure the pirates in ... would run ahead ... and then the pirates either got lost in the maze or went through the tunnel that dropped steel gates that trapped them and then they poured boiling oil over them!!!!

Eeeeegads! Can you just imagine the life of those who lived here before us?? We think we have a hard challenge or two every once in a while!

We were so very grateful to have the path lead us to lunch at our guides Mom and Dad's house. They prepared the most magnificent lunch for us! We started with their homemade Limoncello spritz. I am not usually one for a spritz because I do not like carbonation ... but ... THIS was so delicious! I learned that the secret ingredient was their lemon marmalade!

We also enjoyed little balls of eggplant that were so scrumptious and a variety of other delights that will remain on the top of the list of the food we have enjoyed here along the Amalfi Coast!

There is so much more to say ... but ... the words just can't do it all justice, so I will sign off for now. All I can say is that 'Walk About Italy' offers you an experience like no other!

We winded our way on foot back to the hotel ... we ended up having an exceptional experience (emotionally, physically and spiritually!).

Bye for now ...
