The Streets of Sorrento

 

As a farewell from Campania for my new friend Karen from South of Rome, I want to share some photographs I took of the streets in Sorrento while I was there a couple of weeks ago enjoying the day with Karen and her lovely family and Jessica from the fabulous website WhyGo Italy. It was a mini-blogger meet up in Sorrento! We strolled around enjoying the nice weather, the colorful shop displays, poking our heads into churches here and there, and enjoying getting to know one another in person. We couldn’t have picked a nicer day to enjoy Sorrento!

You can read Karen’s fun and informative posts about her visit to the Amalfi Coast over at South of Rome, including our chance viewing of the Ave Maria procession in Amalfi, adventures riding the SITA bus on the Amalfi Coast, and her visit to Santa Croce (my favorite beach!) I send my warmest wishes to Karen and her family for safe travels to their new destination and for the next adventures life sends their way. We will miss you here in Campania and look forward to when you come back to visit soon!

 

Abbracci e buon viaggio!!

In bocca al lupo . . . good luck!!

    I know those alleys too well. But where are all the English tourists?

    Ciao Lisa! Prego! I knew you would enjoy the photos of Sorrento. 🙂

    Ciao Valerie! Aren't the colors and styles so beautiful?! I always enjoy Karen's photos, so I thought a photo send off would be the best way.

    Ciao Scintilla! It was a lovely day in every way…there weren't even that many tourists! 🙂

    Ciao Annika! I could say the same thing about Sorrento. I don't get there nearly as often as I should, because it takes a little over two hours via SITA bus to get there from where I live. Salerno is only about an hour away, so we tend to go there for any shopping at bigger stores that we might need to do. So I always enjoy exploring Sorrento every time I get over there. Glad you enjoyed the photos! 🙂

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!
