*Another point for the acrophobic team. There is a funicular that takes people from the Ferry to the top of the Isle of Capri. It runs on a track, not the swinging in the wind, oh my god I am going to die, why would they suspend you over a great crevice, type of funicular.

*You know that you are the only American on the local bus when everyone else sits calmly while you are making deep inhaling noises, willing the bus to be narrower as it barely makes it past other cars, pedestrians, or other non stationary objects. This is also why most Italians are very slim hipped.

*The most extraordinary flora exists here. The soil is so fertile that a broomstick plunged into the ground would sprout baby broomsticks.

* Capri, once you are off the main drag (which is East Hampton, Palm Beach or Bar Harbor on Steroids) is extraordinarily beautiful. My friend Linda said “if God’s home is in New Zealand, he summers in Capri.”
