Ciao Amalfi

PHOTOGRAPHY · January 28, 2011

Photo Friday: Paris Métro

Paris Metro Sign

This morning I’m waking up in a different place, one that is both familar and foreign all at once. Parigi! (That’s how you say Paris in Italian.) Last January I visited Paris for the first time with my boyfriend, and we loved it so much that we were thrilled when I had the opportunity to visit for work again this winter. Warm weather or cold, Paris is always a good idea! Last year we had a beautiful dusting of snow on our first night in Paris, and I’m excited to see what beautiful memories this trip has in store. A plus tard!

      Thanks, Anne! Today was a shopping adventure wandering the streets of the 1st arrondissement. Fun! It was my first time really exploring that part of Paris. Speaking of the Metro, we had a real adventure navigating the Les Halles metro to find our train during rush hour this evening … but we made it! 🙂

    I hope I can make it to Paris real soon! We had the launch of a low-cost direct flight from where I am (Kuala Lumpur) to Paris a few months ago. Soon, soon! 😉

      Ciao kyh! I hope you’ll be able to visit Paris very soon! 🙂 I love how easy it is to fly from Naples direct to Paris on EasyJet … makes it just as easy to fly to France as to any destination in Italy!

    Ciao Laura!

    We’ll be spending a week in Paris this October and I was wondering if there is a blog that you would recommend? I really enjoy Ciao Amalfi and found it enormously helpful when we explored the Sorrentine and Amalfi coasts this past spring.

    Grazie mille!

      Ciao Mike!
      So happy that you found Ciao Amalfi helpful before your trip to the Amalfi Coast. I do love Paris, and there are a lot of great blogs. I enjoy David Lebovitz’s blog and his fun writing style: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/ (Plus, I highly recommend his book “The Sweet Life in Paris.” I read that during my last visit to Paris and thoroughly enjoyed!) I’d start there and check out his links. Have fun planning! 🙂

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!
