Wow!!!
Beautiful writing and pictures! To be able to experience Dubrovnik when the tourists have left, and the locals are celebrating is the ultimate experience. I'm so jealous!

Our only limits are in our mind
You continue to find those hidden gems that we need to take a look at. Experiences, memories, reality vs. imagination....does it matter. Your perception is all that counts. Running from the tourists always gives pleasure.

Limits...
We enjoyed our time. The expense of the ferry stranded us a little more than we would have liked. Our plan was to see more of the area but it didn't really work out financially. Means we'll have to head back to the area someday soon. Thanks for reading and commenting, MJ!

Beautiful!
Loved your blog and the stunning pictures! It's amazing how wild our thoughts can be and how far we can go with our imagination and yet we're never truly prepared for what's ahead of us. Looking forward to your next blog. :)

Beautiful...
With the exception of food perhaps, travel is the best thing to realize your imagination. Each month we dream about living in some interesting place and we can actually accomplish that within a short time. Like a new dish you are preparing for the first time, some parts are good and some not so much. But it is always interesting. Thank you for reading and commenting Anna!

Travel is to bring our imaginations to reality...
and be prepared for the surprises that even your imagination hadn't painted. I love your writing and pictures...and the little island you picked to get away from the tourists and see the real Italy.

Imagine travel...
We agree completely. Nothing compares to travel to spark your imagination. Procida was a nice spot to get away and we enjoyed our month there. Thank you for your nice compliments and for reading, Bob!

Corricella Sunset

Off terra firma
I think the Corricella Sunset is my favorite pic. The water on both sides of the island and the multi-colored buildings are so inviting. Being that the sun is setting doesn't hurt, either ! You have done some unbelievable traveling with fantastic pictures in places I never heard of. (And I've been to Italy !). How do you get to this island ? Ferry? Where is it located ? By that I mean where off of Italy ? Thanks again for sending such wonderful notes and pics.I've often thought the seaside buildings that are so brightly colored are because there are so many gray days (and foggy) near the ocean.Would you agree after seeing so much of the world ? Please don't quit on your beautiful correspondence. I really enjoy your blogs.

Off terra firma
Thank you for commenting on the pictures; David really outdid himself! Procida is an hour-long ferry ride from Naples. We can see Capri and Mount Vesuvius from our upstairs patio. We heard that the houses are painted this way so that sailors can pick out their individual homes while coming home from sea. Don't know if there's any truth to the legend, but it's beautiful just the same. Thanks again for commenting!

What a gem of a find
You just made me realise I need to do more research before heading off. Procida sounds and looks sensational, and we were at Naples and didn't even knew it existed - damn. We went to Matera imagining what you got in Procida and didn't get it, oh well sometimes travels work well and sometimes it doesn't. As always your words match your photographs superbly.

Gems...
Procida is definitely not the tourist center that you described Matera as. However, while very photogenic it is a little limiting (due to the ferry) in terms of seeing other places in this part of Italy. We have enjoyed our time here, but with as many outstanding things as you guys have just seen, I wouldn't worry about missing this one place! Thanks for reading!

Procida Sunset

Brilliant choice
On beautiful, little Procida, you lived on top of the island, once inhabited by the wealthy, whereas on popular, pricey Capri, you'd probably have a little cell and be jostling with tourists all day. What a gem this island is, and how fine to have a sense of how others live! Pretty funny that I'd commented on your last blog that in finding Colmar, you had turned lemons into limoncello, and here others did it literally for you. Yum!

Brilliant...
Ahhh, a premonition of limoncello in our future! Very good. Perhaps you see our future better than we do! Procida is a nice find, but perhaps it turned out to be a bit difficult to see some of the rest of this lovely area (Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, etc.). It was still nice to take a month off of touring and just wander the narrow streets aimlessly. Thanks so much for the nice comments and following along, Tara.

Power...
Being trapped on a tiny speck of land in a beautiful sea gave us plenty of opportunities to use the camera. We enjoyed our time and are on our way soon! Thank you for the nice comments and for following along!

Hooray for cancellations
Go with the flow.... good recovery. Living above a bakery sounds like heaven. I love street musicians and are glad the sounds were wafting in along with the bakery smells. Ok so Colmar is now on our list. Spontaneity can be the spice of life. Good luck.

Hooray...
It's kind of funny. I guess travel is like life, sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. We've had a couple of places that we couldn't wait to get to, but never really enjoyed them and then places like this that we had never heard of, but we really liked. Definitely worth stopping in the Alsace region and Colmar especially if you get nearby. Thanks for reading!

I would like it there
Never heard of Colmar before but it looks and sounds like an interesting place. One of the great things about Europe is that there are so many interesting places to visit that I will never have a problem finding places worth visiting. Ake

Colmar
To be honest, we had never heard of it either. It's true that Europe has so many unique places that you really could fill a life of travel here. Thanks for reading, Ake!

Lemons to lemoncello!
What a great story, and I adore the moral, "less planning and more surprise." I spent a couple of stimulating weeks in Strasbourg, but my heart will forever belong in Colmar! You are so right about the fairy-tale quality of those half-timbered houses, and the wonderful vineyards and nearby towns for walking and exploring. And I agree about the TGV--it goes too fast for my eyes that love to linger. You were lucky indeed--walking up only to the second floor, the fragrance of a bakery beneath you, and the harvest season in the French countryside. I'm salivating just thinking of it!

Lemons...
We were really lucky that Colmar turned out to be so lovely. It really turned into a nice place of good food, nice weather and beautiful surroundings. In other words, just about perfect! I hope your travels are going well also. Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Tara!

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info
