Many of you may have noticed that somewhere around half-way through our trip my blog just dropped off. The blog was giving me some trouble, especially with photo uploading as you know.
When we were in Santa Maria di Castellabate, internet was a bit better but I still had issues with the photos. We were having an amazing time there, relaxing along the sea, doing spectacular bike rides, and eating the most wonderful and inexpensive Campanian food. I was a bit too distracted and/or tired to sit down at the end of the night to write and deal with the technical issues.
At our next stop, in San Pier Niceto, there was basically no internet at all. The town's hotspot was more spotty than hot, so even just trying to download email was an eternal task. Kristen's Uncle Gino did eventually buy an Italian phone and set up a hot spot, but between guests constantly coming over and my apprehensiveness to not use up all his data uploading photos, I didn't get to the blog.
Our final stop in Roma was just a stop-over for a day before we got on our way home, and believe it or not internet there was terrible. I couldn't even get my iPad to connect to it. We were only in the room for a few hours besides sleeping anyway, so a blog post wasn't happening there.
I guess another distraction from the blog was that I wasn't alone on this trip. Having Kristen with me, left me with little desire to try to overcome the technical issues and work out the blog. On past trips, I've been there alone so having you all to share my stories with was very nice. But, with Kristen there to experience it with me, I'm afraid to say that you, as the blog reader, got the short end of the stick.
Over the coming days, I will write a post each to sum up and try to capture the essence of our stays in Santa Maria di Castellabate and San Pier Niceto. For now, linked below, you can find a photo album containing many of the photos we took on this trip:
When I get the chance, I will try to add captions to all of them. Sorry for dropping the ball on the blog. I hope you all enjoyed what you read, I hope the typos weren't too bad, and stop back soon to read the aforementioned posts to come.
