December 14, 2007
Starting before dawn on December 10th, we travelled from Gua Musang to a village of less than 300, called Dabong (don't worry: you only giggle the first few times you say this aloud.)
Grabbed a breakfast of roti from a family-run stand.
Wandered down streets, through backyards (inadvertently), and along village lanes.

October 2, 2007
David had the brilliant idea that we should have a post of pictures from an entire day, and then since I'm never one to let something go, I suggested we do a series of them. So, assuming we manage to occassionally find an internet connection fast enough to upload photos, there should be lots of pictures every few weeks. So far we've got one picture-filled post for Assisi from last week (well, okay, a little before) and another one from Salerno, where we spent last Saturday. Oh, and, David's been busy with the pictures on Picasa, so you can take a look at those, too, if you feel so inclined.

picture a day: salerno
September 29, 2007
For today's outing, we began by:
walking to the train station, admiring the views along the way
to arrive in Salerno and pick up a map
before stopping at Bar Moka for some coffee
to fortify ourselves for the marvel of the Minerva Gardens
with lots of plants
and a nifty medieval classification system.
Then we walked around
admiring the views
before walking some more
admiring urban gardens,
all while trying to find the museum of the oldest medical school in the West. We asked a postman, a policeman, two old women and two middle-aged men; got a ride from one of the men and his mom, before learning the museum has been closed.
So then we recovered with the juicest peach ever, along with some excellent pears
before visiting the main church
with some colorful mosaics
after which I decorated my shirt with chocolate gelato
and pouted on the boardwalk
consoled myself with making David pose while eating more fruit
and dog-watching
before heading back to the train
and a dinner of bufala
and olives
on the beach.

September 20, 2007
First, we walked into town
paid homage to MTV
admired a vespa
had breakfast
drooled over pastries
admired Santa Chiara
oohed over a dog
climbed some stairs
ate some lunch
discussed hiking
wandered around
for quite awhile
said hi to a cat
watched some construction
contemplated some imagery
laughed at the little crime in Assisi
drank some spritz
consumed dinner
...and dessert
and discovered we really like opera (or at least some of Verdi's arias)
before walking back to the tent and collapsing.
