Ciao Amalfi

Amalfi, Banner · October 1, 2009

October Banner: Ciao Amalfi!

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast October 2009 Banner2 Full

 

After traveling around the Amalfi Coast this summer to Positano in July and Conca dei Marini last month with our banner images, it’s time for us to sail back in to Amalfi for October. This month you can enjoy a view of the watchtower of Amalfi, which is now a fabulously romantic restaurant connected to the Hotel Luna. I wish I was on that sailboat ready to enjoy these warm October days! Want to come along?

    Ciao Gil! I'm looking forward to sharing them with you. It's going to be another great month!

    Ciao Lucia! Ciao Anne! Ok, you're both in. We'll have a lovely blogger day out on the Amalfi Coast! 🙂

    Ciao Saretta! Thanks! It has been really nice and warm here. I see the first signs of fall, but it isn't in the temps for sure. The mosquitos haven't been too bad, but just yesterday I was tormenting one through the screen window. I know I'll pay for that someday soon, but I enjoyed it while it lasted! 🙂

Mmmhmm autumn is definitely my favorite season. 🧡 This morning I woke up a bit earlier than my alarm and looked outside somewhat perplexed. The entire sky, the town—everything—had a burnt orange hue. A hurried lacing up of the shoes and still bleary eyed, but I just had to see it better for myself. It was a glorious sunrise. Now the rain has just gently started falling and I’m in full autumn ecstasy.

Later I’ll return to the piano to pick up where I left off yesterday learning this beautiful autumn waltz by @andreavanzo_composer. 🍂

It was fun to see the grapes on the same vines just before harvest begins. Swipe to the right to see the same grapes back in May. Happy autumn!

My heart might forever wander, but it’ll probabl My heart might forever wander, but it’ll probably always take a crosswalk. E si fermerà chissà…
This morning was a little cloudy when I went out f This morning was a little cloudy when I went out for my morning walk like I do most mornings in Amalfi. Down the coast, across the Gulf of Salerno, rays of light were shining right on the city of Salerno. I had set out with Salerno on my mind because it was there that 82 years ago today—on September 9, 1943—the Landing of Salerno began during WWII. My Grandpa was in the Army during the war - a lot of it in Italy. Yet he would never speak of where he was or what he did, and certainly had no desire to ever see Italy again after the war. While he probably wasn’t in that first landing in Salerno, he would have been somewhere in Italy, perhaps further south in Calabria or in Sicily. I always think of him during these days and wonder about those hard experiences he must have had in Italy. And very grateful for what he and so many fought for and endured. 

If you ever visit Salerno, south of the city there’s an Allied War Cemetery that is a moving and important place to visit. 🤍
Have I ever shared one of my favorite poems about Have I ever shared one of my favorite poems about Amalfi? It’s by the American poet Sara Teasdale (1884-1933). It’s simple and it’s heartbreaking - like first loves so often are. But I think about it often, especially on night walks in Amalfi. 

Night Song At Amalfi

I asked the heaven of stars
What I should give my love —
It answered me with silence,
Silence above.

I asked the darkened sea
Down where the fishers go —
It answered me with silence,
Silence below.

Oh, I could give him weeping,
Or I could give him song —
But how can I give silence,
My whole life long?
