Ciao Amalfi

Blogosphere, Positano, WRITING · July 2, 2009

Off to Positano!

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Positano

 

Today I am very excited to be heading to Positano for a meet up with fellow bloggers and expats based here on the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento arranged by Scintilla over at Bell’Avventura. How fun! Positano is such a  beautiful city, and I am happy for a lovely excuse to head that way. What will I be doing? After lunch, I might just be up to some of the things I talk about in my most recent travel guide for ItalyItalia.com on Positano. Fun day ahead!

    I've wanted to go to Poisitano ever since I saw "Under the Tuscan Sun". I've never been to Amalfi either so …I'm thinking another trip to Italy is a MUST for me! Happy travels. 🙂

    Ciao Susan! Thanks for stopping by and leaving the lovely comment. It's great to meet fellow Amalfi Coast fans! 🙂 I love that scene in Positano from "Under the Tuscan Sun." I came across some kittens the other day, and one of them looked just like the little one she picks up on the beach in Positano. I hope you can make it to Positano and the Amalfi Coast someday soon!

    Ciao Anne! It was a great time! I hope we can arrange more of these get togethers.

    Ciao Food Hunter! It was great! I was surrounded by charming Australian-Italian ladies, and learned quite a bit about life in Australia and here on the Amalfi Coast. I was amazed to learn how different life is in certain ways in different cities on the Coast. Fun and interesting!

    Ciao Chuck! I will pass on your greetings to Scintilla next time I see her. I hope to head back to Positano soon!

When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it reminded me of one of my favorite Italian words: garbuglio. It means a tangle or a mess. But not just any mess, a conspicuous and intricate mess. I think we can all find a few of those around these days. Now you know what to call it in Italian!
Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the b Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the bus in Pontone this morning instead of Minuta. The steps up between these two hamlets of Scala are quite steep, but it was a perfect autumn morning. Brilliant sun but a cool north breeze and the air full of the honeyed scent of sweet alyssum (which I can spot thanks to Giacomo from @cookeatsquare!) and birdsong. As a little reward to myself for the unexpected effort, I meandered a bit to enjoy the crimson vines and some sunflowers dancing in the breeze. Autumn is coming - even on the Amalfi Coast! 🍂
You have to look close for any signs of autumn in You have to look close for any signs of autumn in Amalfi. Surrounded mostly by olive, lemon, pines, and other types of evergreen trees, we don’t have much for fall foliage right in the center of town. Oh but I look! In the golden moments of the morning just as the sun hits Amalfi for the first time, I’m out there imagining autumn colors. 🍂
This month’s newsletter continues the travels in This month’s newsletter continues the travels in Italy with American poet H.W. Longfellow in 1828 as he made his way down to Naples. Plus a look at Grand Tour volcano tourism and a bonus of 19th-century tips for now not to be a tourist. Link in bio!
Mmmhmm autumn is definitely my favorite season. 🧡 This morning I woke up a bit earlier than my alarm and looked outside somewhat perplexed. The entire sky, the town—everything—had a burnt orange hue. A hurried lacing up of the shoes and still bleary eyed, but I just had to see it better for myself. It was a glorious sunrise. Now the rain has just gently started falling and I’m in full autumn ecstasy.

Later I’ll return to the piano to pick up where I left off yesterday learning this beautiful autumn waltz by @andreavanzo_composer. 🍂

It was fun to see the grapes on the same vines just before harvest begins. Swipe to the right to see the same grapes back in May. Happy autumn!
