Ciao from Beautiful Amalfi Coast
 After a wonderful week in Tuscany visiting private vineyards during the grape harvest, we are now in the Amalfi Coast. The white buildings cling to the cliffs here in Positano like jewels dotting the night sky. Today we visited a little fishing village hidden from the road. After walking down more than 100 steps, we arrived at the marina where we ate fresh fish caught by village fisherman and drank white wine with peaches in it. Later we visited a paper making factory in Amalfi that dates back to medieval times and I got make a piece of handmade paper. The man at the paper company offered me a job and said I made a perfect piece of paper, better than he makes. There are so many beautiful things everywhere. We wish you were here with us!
