Amalfi, Amalfi Coast · March 25, 2009

Take a Virtual Drive on the Amalfi Coast!


Visualizzazione ingrandita della mappa

This morning I was very happy to read over at Bell’Avventura that Google Maps street view has come to the Amalfi Coast. And they picked a lovely, sunny day to make their visit! You can click along the white arrows to take a virtual drive along the Amalfi Coast and do a 360 wherever you stop. How fun! My first stop was the Piazza Duomo in Amalfi, where the map above begins. (You can move around by clicking the image right in this post, or head over to the Google Maps site to have a better view.) I had so much fun poking around and seeing people I recognized in Amalfi’s main piazza before taking a tour around Piazza Flavio Gioia. You can follow the road both directions out of Amalfi, either toward Atrani or toward Positano. I followed the road virtually to my front door. Well, about 60 or so steps from my front door! No sign of the car. It made me wonder where I was and what I was doing on this day? Buon divertimento! Have fun!

    Ciao Katerina! So happy to hear you enjoy the blog! Moving to Florence sounds lovely. I haven’t been there yet, but I have been dreaming about it. Hopefully this May I will be able to visit! I will have to ask your tips for a short visit before I head north. 🙂

    Say, are you from Minnesota? I noticed on your website you went to St. Mary’s in Winona. I am not from MN, but I went to grad school at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Thanks for stopping by and saying ciao!

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
