every day is a winding road...

hi again. we are still here in salerno enjoying the sun and beach. today when i woke up rachael told me happy birthday whether i liked it or not. we decided to take a trip to amalfi by bus. it was a beautiful drive along the coastline that we would have enjoyed had we both not gotten very motion sick. the road was so tight and curvy and the driver must have had it out for us. we both agreed that it was worth it though. the coastal towns all along the mountains are breathtaking. we stayed at amalfi for a few hours and decided it was a bit too touristy for our taste (everyone there was american) so we got lunch (pizza and vino) and rach surprised me with a card and a necklace that she made (one i had been borowing and love) then we took the long bus ride back to salerno. the sun was setting and it felt very surreal to be seeing all the beauty that we have only ever seen in pictures. unfortunately we got sick again on the way home and now we are trying to recover so we can get dinner at our favorite restaurant here. thank you everyone for the birthday wishes it really does mean a lot. cant wait to see you all and tell you all about our time here in europe. love steph and rach
