Last week I rode my motorino to Ravello for a haircut at my favorite salon on the Amalfi Coast - Total Hair Design by Gerardo. It was a beautiful morning and instead of heading directly home, I decided to enjoy the sunny weather and ride the scooter all the way around the road that circles through ...

Festival of Sant’ Antonio in Amalfi & Atrani – 2011
One of the things I love most about the religious festivals on the Amalfi Coast is that I feel like I see and experience something new every year. Not only are there different events planned, but there are also so many different spots to watch the processions and traditions to learn about. This year ...
Photo Friday: A Birthday Dinner in Atrani
Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day ... and will be a birthday I'll never forget! The amazing day came to a close in Atrani, where the Tour Guide and I enjoyed an excellent meal at the Ristorante Da Zaccaria overlooking the sea. You can just spot the lights of the restaurant behind the trees on the ...
Photo Friday: Amalfi Bougainvillea
I love it when the bougainvillea blooms on the Amalfi Coast each summer, and I know I'm not alone in this passion. Photo Friday this week is dedicated to Saretta from Amid the Olive Trees, who stopped by last week's Positano Bougainvillea post and left a sweet comment asking for more bougainvillea ...
Granita di Limone in Amalfi
The Amalfi Coast is famous for its wonderful lemons, and there are so many ways to enjoy them during the summer. Now in Amalfi there is a new way - a Granita di Limone - served up with a friendly smile by Andrea. While his cart says "Gelato al Limone," what Andrea has whipped up is a very refreshing ...
2011 Regatta in Venice Annulled
I wish it was with happier news that I was writing this morning about the results of the 56th Regata Storica delle Reppubliche Marinare that took place in Venice yesterday. No, I'm not sad that Amalfi didn't win, or came in a close second like they did in 2009 and 2010. I'm disappointed to have to ...
Photo Friday: Positano Bougainvillea
Simple because Positano is always Positano! There's that bright pink bougainvillea that I love and recently bought in Positano. If you're like me and can't get enough of Positano, you're going to love Positano Daily Photo. Have you checked it out yet? I love Nicki's photographs of daily life in ...

A Saturday in Amalfi
Now that the weather is sunny and warm, daily life in Amalfi is starting to take on its summer feel. The harbor is busy with boats, buses are lined up three rows deep and there are people everywhere enjoying the town. A couple of weeks ago I was in Amalfi on a beautiful Saturday, and I took some ...
Photo Friday: Sorrento Sunset
For as much as I love Amalfi, the sunsets just aren't as striking as you'll see from Positano or on the northern side of the Sorrento Peninsula. The Capo di Conca juts out into the sea beyond the town of Conca dei Marini blocking out the best view of the setting sun. While I do love watching the ...
