I would like to preface by stating that this blog post will not even begin to bring justice to the amazing weekend we spent this past weekend in Positano and Capri. Twenty-two out of the twenty-four girls in our group decided to partake in the program sponsored optional field trip to Positano, and it was by far one of the best weekends I have had. We arrived in Positano Friday around 11 in the morning, eager to get to the beach we changed right away into our swim suits and we were lucky enough to have a hotel on the beach where all we had to do was walk outside and be on the beach. We spent hours in the ocean enjoying the beautiful view we had of Positano. Although the waters were a clear blue, using goggles enhanced the beauty and gave us the opportunity to explore the waters we were swimming in. That night the whole group got together to enjoy a great group dinner at the hotel overlooking the ocean.

Saturday morning we woke up early to travel to Capri via the ferry. When we arrived to Capri we immediately got on private boats that took us on a tour around the Island and to the Blue Grotto, which was amazing. At lunch in Capri we had a “War Eagle” moment as we ran into the head of the Auburn University Medical Clinic.

The last night some of us decided to stay up for a late night swim in the Mediterranean while others opted to wake up early to be kayaking for the sunrise. This was such an amazing weekend; I could not have imagined it going any better. While the summer is winding down I am honored I have had the opportunity to spend it in this beautiful country with such an amazing group of women.
