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! 🙂

What a moving experience yesterday morning to see What a moving experience yesterday morning to see the Olympic torch in Amalfi. 🔥 One of the many many reasons I love living right in the center of Amalfi is that in one minute I can be in the middle of making pasta with artichokes and the next watching a historic moment happen. I never take that for granted! @milanocortina2026 @olympics

Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustra Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustrationbyjonathan of Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and her tiny 12-sided writing table. It looks exactly like the beautiful spring day when I was there in April this year. Such a beautiful memory! I think this will have to stay out all year.
Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the de Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the definite highlights of my year was visiting @janeaustenshouse in Chawton on a beautiful spring day. I still think of her tiny writing table and what it felt like to stand there and take it all in. I’ve enjoyed the book “A Jane Austen Year” throughout the year - pulling it off the shelf at the start of each month. While at Chawton, I picked up the embroidery kit by @abigailrosecreative made to celebrate the 250th celebration. I’ve been wanting to learn to do embroidery for years, so this was the perfect souvenir from Jane Austen’s House. Still a work in progress, but I’m nearly there! 🧵🪡
I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which is how I felt seeing “Partenope - Musica per la sirena di Napoli” at the @teatrosancarlo yesterday. This opera in one act was written by the great Ennio Morricone 30 years ago, and it was finally performed for the first time this weekend. Just in time for the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of Naples. Mary Oliver wrote: “A town cannot live on dreams.” I was thinking about that line yesterday and wondering if maybe a town could live on mythology. 2,500 years later, Naples might just be proof that it can.

As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way throug As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way through some of the books sitting unfinished on my bedside table. I usually finish a book once started, but occasionally I come across one that is so good I can’t let myself rush through it all at once. I want to hang on to that first read as long as I can, slowly savoring the way it changes the geography of my mind.

This autumn that has been “Upstream” - a selection of essays by Mary Oliver. If “attention is the beginning of devotion,” as Oliver writes in the first essay in the book, I am deeply devoted to her writing. Few writers capture my attention and hold it the way she does. This will be a book I know will return to again and again. And, even though I’ve finished, it might be a long time before it leaves my bedside table. I’ll just leave you with a couple of Oliver’s magical lines:

“You must not ever stop being whimsical.

And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
