Summer 2006, my grandmother (a widow of 1 year then) turned 80. We wanted to have a party. She wanted to take us all to Italy. We decided Italy was the better choice. So me and 13 other crazy Italians went home. We took a tour, 14 days worth of being on a buss and hotels together. There were bumps and well fights but we all had the time of our lives. Grandpa Dave said something about the best thing he has done in his life as being his Photography career. I think I am probably to young to say something like that, but I did come up with something. This trip, and in particular my trip to the top of Capri.
Welcome to Capri, Italy:
The only way to get to the main part of the Island is by funicular. You can see it there in the image going up. It was only about a 5 min ride to get up there and there were some great views on the way.
On the second day we took a trip to St. Anna Capri. About a 20 min drive by buss. This was the highest village on the Island. When we got there we had many options of what to do. Me and my Aunt, Uncle, Brother, and Cousin decided that we wanted to go to the highest point to get some great views. So here is what we were on to get there:
Looking backwards at my aunt:
And along the way here were some of the views:
And get ready for it here is the view from the top:
It really was the time of my life. I wont ever forget the feeling of flying in such a beautiful place. I hope one day to be able to go back to Capri, and once again ride the chair lift to the top. I wish something equality as wonderful upon all of you.
PS why not share your best moment or something of the sort?

What a wonderful travel adventure!! I wouldn't want to ride that chair lift though. Excellent photos.
Stef, I know I'll never make it to Italy, so being able to see those views was a trip through your eyes. Beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Where do we sign up?? My husband is looking at your photos over my shoulder going "Wow!", "Where is that?" !
Thanks for sharing these photos and your memories with us!
what a superb memory.
I got to go to Texas, once. Talk about a foreign country!
Good photographs, stef.
You described it so well that I want to go now. But I have always wanted to go to Italy. Tuscany with my youngest son. And this really makes me want to go. I too, like Flinty, don't know if I would want to ride in on the chair lift but I would love to go. The pictures are so wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. Much love to my little buddy!!!!!!
Great pics, Stef. I'll bet this was a great trip. Thanks for sharing.
You ask about the best thing in our lives - that's a tough one. I think the best thing I have ever done is had my two kids and raised them the best way I knew how. Choosing my husband is also at the top of the list.
