Med Trip May 26

Okay, so I am trying a new way of preparing this blog.
Last night we had a great meal opposite our house along the narrow street. Positano, at least the part below the "highway", has only one narrow street that loops around. Of course, every excursion requires walking down and up 184 steps just to get to the street.
Today, May 26, we stayed around town. We walked the kilometre, about 400+ stairs, down to one of the little beaches and put our feet in the Mediterranean. Then we walked the path near the bottom until we got to the main beach, where we had lunch. We discovered that this area was a hub of activity, with many restaurants and shops. Rather than returning on foot, we took the local bus, for 1.3 euro, which loops around town. It gave us a good overview of the whole town. The narrow street is amazing. Cars pass within inches of parked cars, pedestrians, and maniacal vespas, and traffic comes to a halt when, on the highway, oncoming buses meet and manoeuvre around each other, mirrors missing each other by no more than three or four inches.
The weather has been quite good, sunny with some clouds and highs approaching the mid twenties. Dinner must be after seven o'clock and by then the evenings have cooled off to where you need a light jacket. Tonight we went to the closest restaurant, a pizzeria where the food was great but we had to beg for coffee and our bill, or we would still be there.
Highlight comments of the day was BIL commenting on a picture posted on Facebook by his daughter-in-law, saying she was wearing a topless dress. Jo noted that we call that a skirt. We also discovered that when we met the owner of our house yesterday, he introduced himself. His name was Giovani. Jo was quite impressed that he knew her name despite never have met her or corresponded with her. She mistook him saying his name as calling her Jo-annie.
