Capri Part 2: Monte Solaro And The Wealthy Side Of The Island


If you want to read about part one of my day on the island of Capri, please click here.

I last left off perusing the sandals and perfume shops in the walkable alleys of Anacapri, but now it is time to make my way up to the highest point of the island of Capri on Monte Solaro.

Capri Part 1: Boat Rides in Bad Weather


I still had a full schedule of things to do while in Italy. The day after the trip through the Amalfi Coast, I had a day trip to go to the island of Capri. Capri is a resort island that is popular with tourists and day-trippers. The island is busiest in the summer months, while it is not very busy in the winter months. There are also many products named after the island as well, such as the Capri pants, the Capri-Sun juice pouches, and the Caprese salad. I felt like I did almost everything there is to do while at the island, except for the most well-known attraction on the island.

What Is My Next Step? How Can I Evolve?

I occasionally write posts like this where I can check in on my mental health, and the purpose of this post is to talk about the thoughts going on in my head. Last November, I went to the CONCACAF Nations League match between Canada and Jamaica and I already talked about the match and everything surrounding it. While I was watching the match from the homely and familiar surroundings of section 114, there were other things on my mind while watching the match. I want to use this post to talk about these other things.

NieR: Automata - Why Is This Game So Special?


Before I start to answer the question in the title, I want to talk about my relationship and experience with playing NieR: Automata. The first time I played this game was maybe around 2018 or 2019 on the PS4. The release of NieR: Automata was in 2017, developed by PlatinumGames (makers of the Bayonetta series, among other titles), and published by Square Enix.
