Amalfi Coast Travel Atrani Restaurants and Things to Do Moon

PHOTOGRAPHY · October 10, 2014

Foto Friday | Moonlight in Atrani

No matter what's going on, there's always a refuge for me in the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. It's the kind of beauty that you can throw yourself into completely. It truly is good for the soul. And when you add in a spectacular, nearly full moon and a warm October evening? Oh, what a little moonlight ...

Amalfi Coast Moments of Poetry

PHOTOGRAPHY · September 5, 2014

Foto Friday: Instructions for Living a Life

There are so many ways that the poet Mary Oliver has captured beautiful moments of life in her work, but this excerpt from her poem "Sometimes" is perhaps my favorite. It has that slap you in the face simplicity and speaks a truth that really resonates with me. So few people pay attention to what ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu

PHOTOGRAPHY · August 29, 2014

Foto Friday | Nel blu dipinto di blu

Oh, it's good to be back home on the Amalfi Coast. Since moving here many years ago, I've never traveled back to America in the summer. After enjoying warm weather, sunshine, fresh picked sweet corn and BLTs in Nebraska, I realize what I've been missing. But then I come home and see colors like this ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Garden Terrace

PHOTOGRAPHY · July 11, 2014

Foto Friday | Amalfi Coast Garden

Often when I'm out walking or hiking on the Amalfi Coast, I simply have to stop and marvel at the way of life that people have created here - often for generations. Way high above Amalfi, and nowhere particularly roads, you see terraces of lemons. And you know that to tend those lemon groves, make ...

Foto Friday | Finding Center

This week I've finished up a massive writing project that has kept me even busier than usual of late. It felt good. It felt very good! But now that things are settling back into the normal level of busy, it's time once again to focus on balance and recenter. Lately life has felt a little too much ...

Amalfi Coast Festa della Liberazione

PHOTOGRAPHY · April 25, 2014

Foto Friday: Festa della Liberazione

Today is the Festa della Liberazione, a national holiday in Italy commemorating the liberation from fascism at the end of World War II. Quite an important historical event to celebrate and an even more important one to never forget. I caught this photo of the Italian flag (with the symbols of the ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Positano Photography

PHOTOGRAPHY · April 18, 2014

Foto Friday: Love Me Tender

When I'm in Positano there's always one person I miss - my mom. I'll never forget that February day back in 2007 when we first walked on the beach together, picking up sea glass and pebbles and alternating between smiling and crying from happiness. This photo is dedicated to my mom, Sandra Thayer, ...

Foto Friday: The Duomo in My Dreams

I woke up this morning just after sunrise but before the alarm beeped the beginning of a new day. I'm a morning person, even on the mornings when my body feels like starting a little bit slower. Even before I had moved, my brain was fighting its way through the fog of sleep and when I woke up it was ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Vespas in London

While the coffee shop scene in London is drastically different than the Amalfi Coast, there is one familiar sight that I spotted outside a shop. All of the Vespas! Aren't these three lined up so cute? ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Steps in Amalfi

PHOTOGRAPHY · March 21, 2014

Foto Friday: Up the Ancient Staircases in Amalfi

Just like all the top travel destinations in Italy and around the world, there are certainly times during the year when Amalfi can be quite a popular spot. But I feel sorry for the people who say things like, "Venice is too touristy" or "Amalfi is too crowded." Those people miss out on so much. I ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Lemon Trees

PHOTOGRAPHY · March 14, 2014

Foto Friday: The Lemon Trees

How I wish this delivery of lemon trees was for me! The other day I spotted this cluster of trees waiting to be carried down the steps carefully to their new home on a terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast and sparkling blue sea. Lucky little lemon trees! Some day I hope to have my own little garden ...

This spring I finally had the chance to visit @villalarondinaia - and bit was an incredible experience. Follow the link in my bio for a closer look at one of the most extraordinary villas on the Amalfi Coast!

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤
It sounds like New Year’s Eve outside with firew It sounds like New Year’s Eve outside with fireworks and celebrations for the Naples soccer team wining the championship for the first time in 33 years. To say this is a big deal for the fans doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’ve been watching videos from Amalfi, Sorrento, Ischia and all around Campania. Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
