Cava de' Tirreni

Our week in Cava de' Tirreni was amazing. It is a challenge to fully capture the sights beheld, the history interpreted, the meals shared, and the lessons learned. Our activities included visiting:
Abbazia Benedettina dell SS. Trinita (Abbey), Corpo di Cava (historic city), Ercolano (Roman ruins), Mt Vesuvio, the Almalfi Coast, town of Ravello, Salerno, Ciro's mother's apartment (she is a great artist!), Vietri sul Mare (ceramics), and a boat ride along the Almafi Coast. We met Rotarians from several clubs and gave a full presentation to the Rotary Club of Cava de Tirreni. We also watched the Giro d'Italia and a Jazz Quartet. Our vocational day was spent at the University of Salerno and the Pasticceria Tirrena di Tagliaferri (very rewarding to taste your work). Our week ended with a train ride south to Cosenza in Calabria.
