One more photo from my travels in Italy, this one along the water in Sorrento. I love the way these hotels and residences are carved into the sides of the hill, offering great views of the area.
Next week it will be back to a regular posting schedule here at Flyaway Cafe. Vacation is over […]

The Emerald Queen is operated by the Puyallup Indian Tribe, and is one of the largest in the state. When the Emerald Queen originally opened in 1997 it was on an authentic paddlewheel riverboat (called the Emerald Queen) […]
