Vietri Sul Mare

I was able to cross another place off my wishlist with a couple of trips to Vietri. It's a seaside town that is known for the handmade ceramics that are made there. The Americans here often go to the beach in Vietri to walk along the sand and collect sea glass and pieces of ceramic tile. Unused ceramics are tossed into the sea, the water wears the edges smooth and they become very unique treasures for us non-natives.

The beauty of this town can be seen before you even get down the hill to the beach.

Once down the hill and on the beach you can enjoy the sights that surround you.

The boys enjoyed running from the water as well as looking for "treasure."

Some of the things we found in the sand

After we found treasure, dug in the sand, and had a picnic, we walked across the street to the "gelateria" and cooled off with some yummy gelato before making the trip home.

And though the day couldn't have gotten much better, I got to check out a hottie in a speedo!
