Cava de Tirreni

Today was another travel as we made our way from Matera to the town of Cava de Tirreni, about 5 miles west of Salerno. The day started out rainy and cold in Matera and continued that way during our entire drive. We arrived in Cava de Tirreni at @ 1:00 PM, checked into our hotel, left the car in the parking lot and set out to explore the town and have some lunch. By this time the rain had stopped, but the day was still quite cold. The weather has definitely turned and my short sleeved shirts and capris aren't going to cut it any longer. Everyone here is wearing wool coats, sweaters, scarves, skinny jeans and boots. I did finally break down and buy a pair of long pants, but it's not going to be enough. Hopefully, we'll have time to do some shopping tomorrow in Salerno. Thank goodness I bought a warm Patagonia jacket before we left Portland and Rich brought his fleece vest. They're the only things that are keeping us halfway warm.

We didn't do much sightseeing today, but here are a few pictures from our wanders this evening. Tomorrow we're off to the Greek ruins in Paestum and shopping in Salerno.
