Ciao Amalfi

Amalfi, Amalfi Coast · March 25, 2009

Take a Virtual Drive on the Amalfi Coast!


Visualizzazione ingrandita della mappa

This morning I was very happy to read over at Bell’Avventura that Google Maps street view has come to the Amalfi Coast. And they picked a lovely, sunny day to make their visit! You can click along the white arrows to take a virtual drive along the Amalfi Coast and do a 360 wherever you stop. How fun! My first stop was the Piazza Duomo in Amalfi, where the map above begins. (You can move around by clicking the image right in this post, or head over to the Google Maps site to have a better view.) I had so much fun poking around and seeing people I recognized in Amalfi’s main piazza before taking a tour around Piazza Flavio Gioia. You can follow the road both directions out of Amalfi, either toward Atrani or toward Positano. I followed the road virtually to my front door. Well, about 60 or so steps from my front door! No sign of the car. It made me wonder where I was and what I was doing on this day? Buon divertimento! Have fun!

    Ciao Katerina! So happy to hear you enjoy the blog! Moving to Florence sounds lovely. I haven’t been there yet, but I have been dreaming about it. Hopefully this May I will be able to visit! I will have to ask your tips for a short visit before I head north. 🙂

    Say, are you from Minnesota? I noticed on your website you went to St. Mary’s in Winona. I am not from MN, but I went to grad school at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Thanks for stopping by and saying ciao!

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! 💙
