Photo Friday: Spring in Amalfi’s Harbor

Fishing Boat in Amalfi

The beautiful spring weather has all eyes turned toward the beaches and water in Amalfi. The wooden slats are being replaced on the boat docks in the harbor, and soon trucks will arrive one after another bringing back the many privately owned boats that are removed for the winter months. The beaches are being cleaned and pushed back into shape after the winter storms, and the seaside restaurants are getting a new coat of paint. Fishing boats have been pulled up onto the beach to get that new coat of paint, too. This little fishing boat looked like it could use some tender loving care. It belongs to one of the men that works in the harbor on the boats, and it has a busy life going between all the boats and checking the buoys and docks. The busy time of year in Amalfi’s harbor has arrived!

    And I can’t wait to take it all in!!! I love how Easter fosters new coats of paint, novel enthusiasm and the airing out of winter on the Costiera.
    Soooooo excited about our imminent meeting too.

    My son is beside himself, I can barely contain him until then.

    Start making a list of Pos places you’d like to visit together (and if they’re food-slanted, I’m game).

    Baci

      Ciao Eleonora,
      I’m thrilled that you and your son can make it down over Pasqua! I know how much you love it here and a visit back will be good for both of you. We’ll hope this nice spring continues with sunshine over Easter while you’re here! Can’t wait to meet both of you … and to get to know your Positano. It’s a town that I love, but that I know very little about. I’m open to seeing (and eating!) anything! 🙂
      A presto,
      Laura

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!
