Perfecto!

"Got my (umm) butt? in the water, toes in the sand. Not a care in the world, a cold beer in my hand; life is good today, life is good today!!"

Today was perfect and life is GOOD! I woke up early this morning, watched the sunrise over the mountains, ate my croissant and drank my capucchino! Then, I got ready, walked to the little market next door and gathered some things for lunch. I got to the beach about 10:00 and layed out, read, swam, listened to music, wrote postcards, and wrote in my journal til about 5:00. P-E-R-F-E-C-T and just what I needed. The beach was a rock beach, which I had never been to before and didn't think I would like, but it was awesome. No sand to get stuck to everrrrrything.

The only drawback to today was the fact that after the beach, you have to walk back up the thousands of stairs back to the hostel. Talk about a workout!!! I was dyinnng when I got to the top. I showered, am still ejoying the view and am hoping to upload some pictures! FINALLY!

We booked an excursion to Capri tomorrow! Its the island we were originally planning to stay on and is gorgeous. The boat will pick us up in the morning, take us over to Capri and around all day. We can get off on the island, swim around the boat, go to the grottos or anything we like- plus lunch and all day drinks are included! YES!! I can't wait.

Love you guys!!
