Tempting Tuesday: Sunset on the Way to Salerno

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Sunset over mountains

 

This week’s Tempting Tuesday has been abbreviated by strong storms and a colpo di fulmine (and I don’t mean that in the romantic way) that wreaked havoc on our phone and internet connections. Uffa! However, I will leave you with two tempting tidbits to savour. One is the photo above that I took on the way to Salerno last week. I love watching the sun set in the evenings behind the mountains on the Amalfi Coast, and from sea it is even more beautiful. More photos from the boat ride to Salerno to come! The second tidbit is that I did in fact make it to Salerno in time yesterday to see the festivities for San Matteo. Stop back by here on Ciao Amalfi tomorrow to watch the procession go by!

A presto!

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. 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!
