Ciao Amalfi

How well do you know the Amalfi Coast?

 

Conca

 

Think you know every twist and turn of the Amalfi Coast? I was just sent the link (thanks, Mom!) to a fun article on the Amalfi Coast Drive on the National Geographic Traveler website. Head over and take their quiz to see how well you know the Amalfi Coast. Some of the questions are tough, but you might just learn a few new things about the Amalfi Coast. I know I did! I’ll own up that I missed the question about the four corners of the Villa Rufolo in Ravello. What was your score??

    Hi Laura
    Interesting questions, not as tough as I thought they might be,my knowledge was better than I expected.
    The question that beat me was the one about the Minori villa glad to say I knew the others.

    I "fell" on the Minori villa question too! This was a great quiz, brava mamma Thayer.

    Laura,
    I really noticed the tone of the article….how lacking in affection and intimacy it was towards the setting. It offered information, but little to entice me…just a travel report, like so many others: someone passing through and not really getting involved with the culture or the people. I much prefer your blog, which offers tender accounts that truly capture the real beauty and life along the Amalfi Coast.

    Ciao LindyLouMac! Brava! 🙂

    Ciao Eleonora! Yeah, that was a tough one!

    Ciao Lisa! Don't feel bad. Some of the questions made sense, but others were pretty specific. I have to admit I guessed on a couple even.

    Ciao Marybeth! Thank you so very much for the kind words. I only hope I can capture a small part of the beauty of this part of the world in my writing! 🙂

    Ciao Diana and Guido! Well, I would totally fail a quiz on Calabria. 🙂 Do hope you can come up this way for a visit soon!

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!
