sorrento, italy

We woke up in the city of Naples and took a bus to a beautiful little Italian city called Sorrento.  A picturesque town snuggled right up against the ocean.  
The streets and the buildings are so beautiful and there is great shopping to be found.  Wes and I just wanted to spend money trying all kinds of food, so we rarely bought things in any of the cities we were in, but we loved browsing.  
 Sorrento is known mostly for their lemons and oranges.  They were some of the biggest lemons I have ever seen.  The produce stands were gorgeous and overflowing with delicious fruits.
After exploring we decided to have our first taste of true Italian pizza for lunch.  There were so many beautiful outdoor restaurants to choose from.  We had a hard time making a decision.
 I think pizza is ruined for me now.  Pizza in Italy is so lite and the cheese is amazing.  Hardly any grease and delicious tomato sauces.  We couldn't get enough.
 The weather was perfect, the gelato was plentiful, and there was so much beauty to behold.  Although we only spent a few hours here it was a place I would love to visit again.
