Photo Friday: Listening to the Doves

White Dove on the Amalfi Coast

A lot can happen while you’re trying to park on the Amalfi Coast. Or, more specifically, while you’re waiting for someone else to find and maneuver the car into an impossibly small parking space. The other day, I was sitting on the wall on the side of the road while the Tour Guide worked his magic with parallel parking near Positano. I heard a soft cooing sound behind me, and turned around to find this beautiful white dove just sitting there. It actually arranged its tail and posed when I pulled the camera out! There were a few more doves in the pine tree nearby, and they were having quite the active evening conversation. A lot of things have happened while waiting for the Tour Guide to park the car, but this was the first time I found myself surrounded by white doves! Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful weekend!

Even within the private terraced gardens, it’s remarkably secluded. Walking through the gardens, I couldn’t imagine the great good fortune of being able to write and create here as Gore Vidal did for over 30 years. This is a place that certainly inspires!

This spring I finally had the chance to visit @villalarondinaia - and bit was an incredible experience.

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤

To say this is a big deal for the fans doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’ve been watching videos from Amalfi, Sorrento, Ischia and all around Campania. Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
