Ciao Amalfi

PHOTOGRAPHY · January 28, 2011

Photo Friday: Paris Métro

Paris Metro Sign

This morning I’m waking up in a different place, one that is both familar and foreign all at once. Parigi! (That’s how you say Paris in Italian.) Last January I visited Paris for the first time with my boyfriend, and we loved it so much that we were thrilled when I had the opportunity to visit for work again this winter. Warm weather or cold, Paris is always a good idea! Last year we had a beautiful dusting of snow on our first night in Paris, and I’m excited to see what beautiful memories this trip has in store. A plus tard!

      Thanks, Anne! Today was a shopping adventure wandering the streets of the 1st arrondissement. Fun! It was my first time really exploring that part of Paris. Speaking of the Metro, we had a real adventure navigating the Les Halles metro to find our train during rush hour this evening … but we made it! 🙂

    I hope I can make it to Paris real soon! We had the launch of a low-cost direct flight from where I am (Kuala Lumpur) to Paris a few months ago. Soon, soon! 😉

      Ciao kyh! I hope you’ll be able to visit Paris very soon! 🙂 I love how easy it is to fly from Naples direct to Paris on EasyJet … makes it just as easy to fly to France as to any destination in Italy!

    Ciao Laura!

    We’ll be spending a week in Paris this October and I was wondering if there is a blog that you would recommend? I really enjoy Ciao Amalfi and found it enormously helpful when we explored the Sorrentine and Amalfi coasts this past spring.

    Grazie mille!

      Ciao Mike!
      So happy that you found Ciao Amalfi helpful before your trip to the Amalfi Coast. I do love Paris, and there are a lot of great blogs. I enjoy David Lebovitz’s blog and his fun writing style: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/ (Plus, I highly recommend his book “The Sweet Life in Paris.” I read that during my last visit to Paris and thoroughly enjoyed!) I’d start there and check out his links. Have fun planning! 🙂

Just autumn and one perfect maple tree. I wasn’t Just autumn and one perfect maple tree. I wasn’t expecting to catch any colors yet here in Nebraska, but this is the best kind of surprise for an autumn lover. 🍁
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!
