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 ...
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 ...
Photo Friday: Winter Reflections
When the sun shines, this is just about one of my favorite times of the year on the Amalfi Coast. Walking along the port in Amalfi, the air is cool and clear and the late afternoon light is magical. It's the time of year to take a deep breath and get lost in the colors and light dancing across the ...
Photo Friday: Architectural Layers
The architecture of the Amalfi Coast is endlessly fascinating to me, and the Duomo of Salerno is one of my favorite spots in Campania. I took this photo in the beautiful atrium looking up to the 12th-century bell tower. To learn more and see more photos (including one of the crypt you won't want to ...
Photo Friday: A Serengeti Sunrise on the Amalfi Coast
With a boyfriend who works as an official tour guide for the region of Campania, our days often start early. Especially when his groups depart from Sorrento or Salerno over an hour away. The bright side is that I get the chance to watch the day begin, as the sun climbs up over the mountains across ...
Photo Friday: The Fearful Fountain
Usually, the photos I pick out each week for Photo Friday jump out to me. Often they're nice memories from an event or something that I've done over the past weeks or months. Other times I scan through my photos and nothing seems quite right. This one, however, is perfect for this week. It's been ...
Photo Friday: Watching Over Amalfi
I don't think I'll ever tire of taking photographs of Amalfi's Duomo of Sant' Andrea. There's something so intriguing to me about the design and its situation at the top of the grand staircase watching over all the activity in the town's main piazza. While walking down the 62 steps a few weeks ago, ...
Photo Friday: Autumn in Anacapri
Despite all the recent rain and windstorms, it's been a beautiful autumn this year on the Amalfi Coast. On a nice day at the end of October, I went to Capri on one of the last days the boats were running from Amalfi to Capri. (Just a couple of days before the rough seas!) The autumn colors were ...
Photo Friday: Autumn on the Amalfi Coast
Autumn has started to arrive on the Amalfi Coast, and everywhere you turn there are pretty signs like this vine climbing up a wall. I snapped this photo while out taking a walk last week in Scala. I loved the contrast between the strong reds, the blue sky and the mountain peaks in the distance. A ...
Tempting Tuesday: Falling in Love with Florence
This week Cecil Lee, travel photographer extraordinaire, is back to tell us about Florence, another spot in Italy he fell in love with during his travels earlier this year. And since I just visited there for the first time this past spring, I know what it's like to fall in love with the beauty of ...
Photo Friday: Sailing into Autumn
Even though the weather has turned rainy and cool, especially up in the mountains of the Amalfi Coast, there's still a touch of summer in the air in Amalfi. One morning this week I was out for a walk in the warm sun and I snapped this photo of a sailboat. For a moment it felt just like summer! Even ...
Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Today we're thinking pink from the Amalfi Coast! I'm very happy to be joining in with a great group of expat bloggers in Italy to paint the web pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's wonderful to be a part of such a good community to help spread the word about breast cancer awareness. Here ...
