Connoisseurs of Blue

Blue wasn't always my favorite color. When I was young, I don't even recall having a favorite color. I wasn't ever particularly good at coming up with an answer to those inane yet popular favorite thing questions kids seem so fond of asking. Over the years, it's more like I've grown into blue. From ...

A Glimpse of My Scala in Italia! Magazine

Thoughts from Amalfi during Coronavirus

Over the past 13 years, I've written a lot about the Amalfi Coast. About beautiful beaches, about my favorite hikes through quiet villages, about food, about the people, and really most everything in between. Plot twist. So here I sit at my tiny desk inside our small house right in the historic ...

I Got My Driver’s License on the Amalfi Coast

I know what you're probably thinking. Worst idea ever, right? The Amalfi Coast Road might be one of the world's most beautiful drives, but it is certainly not one of its easiest - from the driver's seat. Full of twists and turns, barely wide enough for two cars to pass let alone big buses, blind ...

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
