We made a big breakfast of parma ham, scrambles eggs, and
tomatoes on toast, and the kids worked on their maps of Italy to map out our trip.

Then we all pitched in together to clean up. The kids are doing great with chores and
specific knowledge building activities to earn minutes on their iPads (thank
you Jen Smoker).
Afterwards, we decided
we would create a map of Amalfi and the many walkways to and about the
piazza. It was a much bigger job than anticipated.

We made it the steps of the Duomo and sat
there for a bit and sketched. Gia snapped a few photos of the piazza. She wants to take a pigeon home as a pet :)

We then
hiked to the next little town over, Atrani, and sat out at a little café for
crepes and coffee, and spent some more time drawing together. It was a great morning!

Once back home, the kids spent some time on their iPads and
Corey and I did a little bit of work, before doing some games, reading, and
enjoying the patio swing. We then headed
back into town for dinner and played some Spot It :)
A very
relaxing day. It is beginning to feel
like we live here, which is so fun!
