Villa La Pistrice - Positano, Italy (9/27/16)

Apparently Tom Brady is waiting out his Deflategate suspension here with us in Positano.  Hopefully, they will be able to convince him to leave when his suspension is up...

It was Michelle's birthday, so the whole Hinkley clan joined us for a hike on the Path of the Gods.  It started with a quick ferry ride to Almalfi, with a 1 1/2 hour wait for the bus.  The time was well spent touring the town of Amalfi.  The Hinkley's went the spiritual route to explore the Duomo d'Almalfi

while Deb and I took the culinary route and found some spectacular pastries.

We took the city bus to Bomerano, a small town in the mountains.  The road was narrow with dozens of switchbacks, only a little more scary than a wooden rollercoaster.  Once we got to Bomerano, we found the trail and hiked 4,miles to Nocelle, just above Positano.  The views were breathtaking and the trail was fairly easy, considering that it was hugging a sheer cliff face.  We reached Nocelle just as the bus arrived, and took another scary ride back to the villa.

We had a special dinner with the Hinkley's to celebrate Michelle's birthday...with a resounding refrain of Happy Birthday while she blew out the candle on her canoli.
