Ciao Amalfi

WRITING · April 30, 2010

Spreading the Love…

Thanks to the new Travel Inspirations Series here on Ciao Amalfi, I’ve had some of my favorite writers around the blogosphere stopping by and sharing some of the places around the world (and here in Italy, too!) that have inspired them. Keep watching in the coming weeks for some great new additions to that series.

But some of you may have noticed my own posts have been a bit sparse this past month. No, no, I haven’t forgotten you, my dear readers! I’m just wrapping up what has turned into my busiest month yet with the travel writing. (All very good news, since that keeps me going here on Ciao Amalfi, too!) I have also been sharing my love of the Amalfi Coast with several guest posts over the past month. If you follow these blogs (and you should!), many of you may have already caught them there. But for those of you who missed them, here’s just a bit of what I’ve been up to this April:

 

 

 

Experiencing Italy: Windows on the Amalfi Coast over at Cherrye’s blog My Bella Vita.

 

 

 

Sunday Soul: Alone in Magical Amalfi, Italy over at Lisa’s blog Wanderlust Women’s Travel Dreams.

 

 

 

 

Top 5 Reasons to Head South to Campania at Danielle’s website When in Rome Tours.

 

 

 

 

 

Why Laura Travels over at Mike’s blog Fevered Mutterings.

 

 

 

And, for those of you who enjoyed the photos from my first trip to Paris, be sure to check out this article:

    There is nothing I love more than Italy. I have travelled there many many times, to many different locations. If you look back at my blog posts you will see a recent one on the Amalfi Coast. I would love to write a little story for you. xx's

Hello June! I couldn’t think of a better start t Hello June! I couldn’t think of a better start than watching the sun come up over the mountains in Amalfi. I also noticed that one of the first places the sun hits is the @anantaraconventodiamalfi. ☀️

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. ⚽️

Finally a break in the rain today in Amalfi! Time Finally a break in the rain today in Amalfi! Time to stop and admire the rain puddles.
From my tiny home in the middle of Amalfi, you can From my tiny home in the middle of Amalfi, you can’t see the sea. Growing up in the Midwest and Florida and then spending 12 years with a sweeping view of the sea here from Scala, I’ve long been accustomed to watching the weather. A storm coming feels like danger while a storm passing by out at sea is exhilarating - close enough to capture the energy but not to cause harm. 

Since we moved down the mountain to Amalfi, the main thing I’ve missed is being able to watch the weather. When the weather turns stormy it’s a gamble on whether a break in the rain will last a few moments or long enough to take my favorite walk along the port, out and back each of the piers. While I don’t mind a walk in the rain, if the wind is blowing too strong for an umbrella, timing the break in the rain becomes more essential. 

This morning I woke early to rain pouring down, but before long there was a break. Would it be long enough? I checked the weather app on my phone to see the temperature and forecast. But, like water to a cormorant, I’ve always been a little bit impervious to numbers. Given the chance, my favorite forecast is by stepping outside. I opened the door and stuck my head out. Far above the seagulls were swirling around, their calls a reminder of just how close the sea is even when I can’t see it. As they taunted and laughed at the weather high above, it seemed like a break I could trust.

I slipped on my shoes and jacket and headed out for a pre-breakfast walk. I didn’t make it all the way to the end of the port before sprinkles arrived, but ducking through the arched passageways and side streets I made it home just before the gulls were hushed and the rain came down again.
