I've received tons of questions after I shared my Amalfi Coast Ferry Services post earlier this year, especially about whether or not there would be a ferry service connecting the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento. While there was a delay earlier this summer on the start of the service, it has officially ...

Ready for Spring
The first signs of spring are starting to arrive on the Amalfi Coast, and yet even more visible is the yearning for the spring everywhere you look. After the cold, humid winter months there's a physical need for warmth. When the sun shines it's almost too much to resist. The locals in Amalfi are ...
Amalfi Winter Blues (and Reds)
Even though the first signs have begun to arrive that tell us that spring is around the corner, a cold north wind blowing down the mountains the last few days has made it feel very much like winter isn't ready to let go quite yet. I'm ready for warmth and sunshine and spending more time outdoors. ...
My Blue Heaven
Last week the most remarkably normal thing happened. I went for a walk in Amalfi with my husband. Normal because we've done that together countless times over the past eight years. Remarkable because it was the first time we've done that since last autumn when he got sick. While his recovery process ...
The Golden Hour
Amalfi glows in the evening light. This is true all year long, but it's especially so during the golden hour just before sunset in the winter. Looking east, the cascade of buildings above the Hotel Luna watchtower take on a gorgeous hue. If I could paint, I would sit up here in the evenings and ...
Snow on the Amalfi Coast!

While we occasionally get snow up in the mountains during the winter, I could tell this was a special snow. I could see snow on the beach in Atrani and snow by ...
Christmas Sweets at Pansa in Amalfi
The holiday season has arrived in Amalfi! The Christmas decorations are simple this year, but they add a bit of a festive touch to the town.

Foto Friday: Instructions for Living a Life
There are so many ways that the poet Mary Oliver has captured beautiful moments of life in her work, but this excerpt from her poem "Sometimes" is perhaps my favorite. It has that slap you in the face simplicity and speaks a truth that really resonates with me. So few people pay attention to what ...
A Day at Santa Croce Beach
Anyone who has spent time on the Amalfi Coast or lived here has a favorite beach. The beautiful beaches and tiny little coves that dot the coastline certainly can make that a hard decision. While I have quite a few that would be contenders, there's only one that could be called my favorite - the ...
Foto Friday | Amalfi Coast Garden
Often when I'm out walking or hiking on the Amalfi Coast, I simply have to stop and marvel at the way of life that people have created here - often for generations. Way high above Amalfi, and nowhere particularly roads, you see terraces of lemons. And you know that to tend those lemon groves, make ...
