Postcard from Amalfi: Convent in the Hills

Yesterday we took a two hour hike up into the mountains overlooking our rented house in Praiano. About half way up, we stopped at the 16th-century Convento San Domenico, pictured here and on the jump. Like most things around here, postcard-worthy.

Mr. B, I'm digging the updates and pictures. Wish I was there! Thanks for posting them. I hope you're having a wonderful time (sure seems you are).

I think Vinnie's Italian Ironwork did the gate. I highly recommend them. A bit pricey though.

Hope you have a great vacation. I'd like to hear more about what you're eating there!!!

Put down the computer and back away slowly! Go drink some wine and get your groove on!! Don't worrky, your fans aren't going to foget you back here stateside.

By the time you finally let go and relax into it it's going to be time to catch the flight back to JFK.

Craptastically beautiful scenery though.

Dropping in on Ravello, I hope? We honeymooned there, on a terraced farm below the town. Amazing, Amalfi.
