back in the US of A

I’m back! 

After Stefan joined me in Switzerland and we enjoyed a weekend at home with his fam, we headed off to the Amalfi Coast for 5 days of relaxation – just the two of us (and all sorts of interesting people Stefan befriended along the way of course).  We then headed back to Zurich to spend the past few days with his fam before hopping on the long plane ride(s) home. 

We had the most wonderful time in Switzerland and Italy, enjoying (as per usual) copious amounts of amazing, amazing food.  (I know people say the Italians like to eat well, but I had no idea just how well!)

An apero on our balcony overlooking the sea in Positano:

fresh Parma prosciutto, divinely doughy bread, 
and the most juicy, delicious tomatoes and olives ever – 
we had to eat them at least twice every day!

(and a bottle of very good Campania wine of course)

A stop for a quick breakfast in Amalfi on our little road trip (more details to come):

the most amazing hazelnut croissants 

I have ever tasted (sorry La Boulange!) – 

I am STILL dreaming about them

A real Italian dinner at a very local, totally no-frills, but extra delicious spot (C’era una Volta - highly recommend it if you find yourself in Positano!):

Every meal in Positano required a tomato-mozzarella salad 
with cheese that tasted like it was fresh from the cow

glass (or rather: bucket) of wine for 2 euros

Every trip to Italy requires at least one pizza to be eaten!

And you can’t go to the Amalfi Coast without trying some Lemon Granita:

And some Limoncello:

And – of course – some Gelato:

While I’m sad this adventure is over, I am excited to get back into the swing of things of here (and eat a few more salads).  
Stay tuned - lots more stories from Switzerland and Italy to come.
