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! 🙂

Weekend ✨✨✨ in Amalfi. Weekend ✨✨✨ in Amalfi.
Last week I met a beautiful and kind woman who sha Last week I met a beautiful and kind woman who shared with me a little bit about her experience with breast cancer. It’s a topic that has been on my mind a great deal lately, as it is like clockwork every six months as I go through my usual round of check ups. She spoke so gently and simply about how when she looks back on the experience now she sees all the gifts that it brought her - something that hit me on a profound level. Gifts. 

I don’t know exactly why I’ve hung on to this little appointment card from Tuesday, June 15, 2021. It was for my first ultrasound where the breast cancer was found. It’s not exactly the sort of thing to be sentimental over. Looking at it today—three years later—and feeling very grateful for everything being clear and good after the latest tests, I thought of this song. This card is a little souvenir of a terrible year. But, after that recent conversation, I realized that I don’t look back at it that way anymore. Because it was also a colorful year in so many ways. Maybe I’ve hung onto it because I needed to realize that the biggest gift I can give myself is to remember the gifts. Thanks, Sally! 💙

What I love about June in Amalfi: the brilliant bo What I love about June in Amalfi: the brilliant bougainvillea against the deep blue sky, the screams of swifts swirling above the Cathedral early in the morning, the way the air is still a little cool before the sun rises over town, the rows of colorful beach umbrellas, the way the scent of our neighbor’s jasmine suddenly arrives inside our home, the return of friends who come in the summer, and warm walks along the sea after dark. 

I love having a birthday in June. But since I will be back in Nebraska with family for my birthday later this month (for the first time in years! 🎉), I’m making sure I really sit and notice everything I love about this month in Amalfi. And, yes, I’m one of those people who stretches out birthday celebrations for as long as possible! 💙
