Awesome! I ask because I have some great friends coming next Sept. Maybe we could “do” the coast around that time!

Positano has a great Sagra del Pesce in late September. Fun night on the beach with most of the locals pitching in to help. Traditional Neapolitan music and fresh fried fish with local wine.   <strong><em>Oh that fish festival sound FUN. Maybe I can make a trip next year and see it. When is it? </em></strong> I’d rather get drunk on chocolate than wine any day!
