*News on Landslide Between Amalfi and Atrani*

 

Saturday morning the people of Amalfi and Atrani were shocked by a landslide near the tunnel connecting the two towns that collapsed the roof of the restaurant Da Zaccaria killing the chef Carmine Abate. Heavy winter rains here cause landslides every year, but it is sad and shocking to hear about this. You can read more about it here on Positanonews.it. (You can get a very rough Google English translation on that page.) My deepest condolences go out to Carmine’s family, including his wife and two daughters.

    Read about this on Positano news on line. What a terrible accident for the poor man's family and everyone in Atrani. May Mr. Abate Rest in Peace. How fragile life and the environment is!

    What a shock it was to read this devastating news. Made worse by the fact I know the location if not the man himself. My thoughts go out to all in Amalfi and Atrani touched by this sad event.

    So sorry to hear someone died. We drove by this on Saturday morning, our last day on the Amalfi Coast. We weren't sure what had happened at the time, and our only thoughts were "wow, it's impressive they are keeping traffic moving on this tiny road in the middle of an obvious emergency."

    Ciao a tutti! Many thanks for your comments. I share your sympathies and thoughts for the Abate family. As of right now the restaurant is still closed as the two cities decide how to make the are more secure.

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!
