We were welcomed by Gregory (our driver) and his "Triolo" sign (my new last name!). He was very informative and provided us with great suggestions and focal points as we drove the extremely narrow streets. Fodor's travel book had tips for driving- don't look down, don't look up, don't look! It's easier that way. Thankfully Gregory was driving because we were flagrantly     rubber necking the whole way. 

There was SO much to see and words truly can not describe Positano's beauty. John Steinbeck (a man, quoted whom lived here in 1953 said "Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." Prior to reading that quote, I kept saying to Mike that it felt like I had walked into the picture that my mother and I had seen when I was in 3rd grade in DC. As obsessed as a 3rd grader could be I knew that one day I would be here in Positano/Amalfi Coast. Unbelievable!

Once we arrived at Le Sirenuse ( google this hotel!) that sits perched upon the cliffs over looking the Tyrrhenian sea, we both were speechless. The hotel is breathtaking and we were given a tour by AnnaLisa, unpacked, and went to the hotel bar/pool. The afternoon consisted of white wine, caprese salad, sun and sleeping. The we napped more and got ready for dinner at Vincenzio (Gregory's restaurant suggestion) which was delicious...greeted us with champagne, wonderful service and they had live music! Afterwards we walked through the streets, visited shops, more live music and we are currently drinking wine on our room's balcony (overlooking the sea and the cliffs- really beyond breathtaking (Shelley/mm-rocking beautiful garments-thank you!) weather amazing and listening to the live music that is being played below. Mike and I could not be more happy- god is good!
