Ciao Amalfi

My Menu, Sunday Shout-out, WRITING · May 17, 2009

Sunday Shout-out: ItalyItalia.com

I love all the Sunday Shout-outs I have posted here on Ciao Amalfi, but I must say I am particularly excited about this week’s. At the beginning of this year, I finally got up the gumption to go after one of my biggest dreams – travel writing. With a background in art and architectural history, a passion for travel writing, and a deep love of the Amalfi Coast, my dream was to one day write and share information about this beautiful part of the world. I still can’t believe it some days, but that day has arrived!

I am pleased this week to annouce that I am the new Travel Guide for the region of Campania on the fabulous website ItalyItalia.com! This is truly an honor and a great pleasure for me. You can check out my biography page where you can read my Amalfi Travel Guide. You will also find many interesting articles on Naples, Capri, Ischia and more great spots in Campania on ItalyItalia.com’s Travel Guide section for Campania.

For those of you who haven’t discovered this great travel website yet, here is a bit of background information on the company:

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!
