I went to southern Italy for the INORE symposium at the end of May. It was held at a hotel in the mountains just above Vico Equense with a pretty nice view of Mount Vesuvius best known for its burial of the Roman city of Pompeii in AD 79.

The symposium was great.  Learned a lot and had fun too.  Fortunately, I got to take a few extra days to travel around the region after the symposium.  First stop was Sorrento.

Then I took the bus down the Amalfi Coast passing through Positano.

And on to Amalfi

Then I took the ferry back to Sorrento.

And continued on to the island of Capri.

Obligatory Oval pic…

Tracy and Ramona came to visit and we had an awesome weekend of soccer, biking, hiking, yard games, and a little indulgence.

We went for a hike in the Macdonald forest on Saturday and rode out there with oval in her bike trailer.

We went for a hike at Cape Perpetua on Sunday.

Before they got here we had been busy brewing beer, and doing some major backyard cleanup.

Good times were had by all and it was sad to see them go.

 

 

We made it home and settled back into Oregon life.  We’ll let you know when something exciting happens.
