Photo Challege Part 3

Today (Day#20), I'm asked to post a picture of someplace I'd love to travel. While most of you probably know that I'm hoping Italy will be our next major trip, I haven't really specified why it has piqued my interest. The island of Capri off the southwestern coast of the country!!! Of course, consuming glass upon glass of wine like its my job won't be so bad either :-) 


I know a couple of people who have been to Capri and they've raved about it. In writing this post, I learned that Capri has been a resort area since the time of the ancient Roman republic, especially favored by the Roman emperors, including Caesar himself. Equally interesting is that Capri was known as the isle of sirens in Greek mythology. Thanks Wikitravel! Without further adieu, here are some beautiful pictures of this gorgeous island:
Soaring Faraglioni Rocks in the distance
The uber famous Blue Grotto
Boutiques along a Capri street...plenty of shopping opportunities
Are there any new destinations in your upcoming travel plans?
