Easter Weekend Errands

This morning we set out early to do some shopping for Easter lunch before the shops got too crowded. As Easter is really the kick off to the tourist season on the Amalfi Coast, we also hopped to beat some of the traffic. We got through the shopping at the fruit and vegetable shop (line not too bad), ...

Signs of Summer on the Amalfi Coast

Maybe it's the Nebraska girl in me, but few things capture the feeling of summer quite like watermelon. Yesterday I stopped into one of my favorite fruit and vegetable shops in Amalfi. The couple ahead of me had asked for a piece of anguria (watermelon), and the woman in the shop was busy cutting ...

Lunch at Amalfi’s Bar Gran Caffè

After a long winter on the Amalfi Coast, it's hard to stay inside when the warm weather finally arrives in the spring. This is the time of year when it's warmer outside most days than inside the old stone houses on the coast. When the sun shines in Amalfi, it's an easy choice to stay out and enjoy ...

Buon Carnevale 2011!

It's Carnevale time in Italy, and for the first time in two years I'm missing Carnival on the Amalfi Coast due to my travels in America. While I'm not a big fan of the dressing up or dodging silly string wars going on between the local kids (or wondering where all that confetti ends up ...), I don't ...

Happy Thanksgiving from the Amalfi Coast!

While Thanksgiving Day isn't a holiday in Italy, many Italians do know about the holiday. Here it is called il giorno del ringraziamento, which literally translates as "the day of  thanksgiving." As an expat, it is always hard to be away from family on important holidays. I feel this even more so ...

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! 🏈
