I wish I could hold on to the peacefulness of February evenings throughout the year. I swear that Amalfi just keeps getting more beautiful all month long. Last week while out taking an evening stroll and soaking up the sunset colors shining on the buildings of Amalfi, I heard the sound of an engine ...
Ready for Spring in the Garden!
It's been awhile since I've posted an update in my adventures of an amateur gardener. This winter has been a busy one with work, and the garden is just now starting to come back to life. Just before I left Italy, the tour guide and I spent a long morning out in the garden cleaning, pruning, cutting ...
Photo Friday: Savoring the Stillness in Amalfi
I love the spring light on the Amalfi Coast. Or maybe it's just that I see things during the month of February, when the town of Amalfi has taken a deep breath and closed its shutters and shops for a bit of winter rest, that are easily missed during the busier times of the year. Last week I was ...
Photo Friday: Running Back to Paris
I can't believe it's already time for another Photo Friday. Two weeks ago today I was out exploring the 1st arrondissement in Paris, from the l'Orangerie Museum in the morning, along the rue de Rivoli to the Palais Royal, shopping on Place des Victoires, the late Gothic magic of St-Eustache, vin ...
An Early Spring Day in Amalfi
For those of you who work from home, or have in the past, you'll know that weekends don't come around every week like they do for many people. Sometimes there's that extra project that comes in last minute. Or maybe you're trying to catch up or get ahead. As a freelance writer, it seems like there ...

It's really charming, and made me laugh quite a few times as I worked my way through it! This is ...
Looking Up to Infinity
Recently, I've been writing about one of my favorite towns on the Amalfi Coast over at CharmingItaly.com - Ravello! While looking through my photos, this one that I took last summer while out on a boat caught my attention. You can see the beautiful little town of Atrani, and, high above, the very ...
Photo Friday: Paris Métro
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 ...
Snowy Mountains on the Amalfi Coast
Remember all the humidity I was talking about last Friday? Well, over the weekend the north wind started to blow and temps dropped enough for the rain to turn to snow at the tops of the Lattari Mountains high above Scala, Ravello and along the Amalfi Coast. Isn't it beautiful? This afternoon I took ...
Photo Friday: Humidity
It's a little humid today on the Amalfi Coast. The windows of the house are covered with condensation on the inside and rain on the outside. I noticed this little snail making its way across the outside of the living room window. Yep, it's definitely a little humid today. Happy (humid) Friday! ...
