Siracusa, Sicily

Sicily: Taormina, Siracusa, and Modica

August 18, 2019

We spent seven days in Sicily, dividing our time between Taormina, Siracusa, and Modica. Read about our time here along with my recommendations for where to find the best street food (hint: ragu arancini from Da Cristina in Taormina, sandwiches from Borderi in Siracusa, and chocolate from Antica Dolceria Bonajuto), where to stay, and what activities to take advantage of in each region!

The Amalfi Coast

Praiano, the Amalfi Coast, Italy

August 7, 2019

Praiano, Italy, is a small town on the Amalfi Coast located between Positano and Amalfi. It’s the least touristy spot on the Amalfi Coast and therefore, in my opinion, the best place to stay. Here’s a recap of our time there along with my accommodation, restaurant, bar, and activity recommendations!

We adulted very hard last week. Garrett’s work schedule ramped up. We got a bed, a car, and an armchair. Two days later, we got a foster dog. Garrett finally broke when he looked over my shoulder as I was ordering a fanny pack—or belt bag
We adulted very hard last week. Garrett’s work schedule ramped up. We got a bed, a car, and an armchair. Two days later, we got a foster dog. Garrett finally broke when he looked over my shoulder as I was ordering a fanny pack—or belt bag, whatever the cool kids are calling them these days—online. “You can’t,” he said. “Why not? I like to be hands-free when I walk!” I responded. “We’re too old. That makes us too old,” he dropped his head and walked away. The fanny pack belt bag is still sitting in the shopping cart. None of this has to do with the church or street shown here except for the fact that I could have had a much easier time taking this photo if I didn’t have to balance holding my keys and water bottle and phone in one hand. So. I think I’m going to cross the line into old person territory today and buy myself that fanny pack. Happy Monday, everyone.
