Moments of Sea Glass

A quiet afternoon not long ago I found myself walking along the waterfront in Amalfi with my husband. Sometimes hand in hand and other times meandering along, bumping into one another as you do when walking on uneven cobblestones. Somehow that has become just as romantic as walking hand in hand, ...

There is a fun addition to the festive atmosphere in Amalfi this year with the arrival of an ice skating rink. Yes an ice skating rink in Amalfi!

Home Again

Last week I landed back in Italy after nearly a month spent traveling in America for work and to visit my family in Nebraska. (Helloooo early Thanksgiving gatherings!) It was a whirlwind trip with stops in New Orleans and New York City before heading to Nebraska. I found there's still a wee bit of ...

Amalfi Winter Blues (and Reds)

Even though the first signs have begun to arrive that tell us that spring is around the corner, a cold north wind blowing down the mountains the last few days has made it feel very much like winter isn't ready to let go quite yet. I'm ready for warmth and sunshine and spending more time outdoors. ...

My Blue Heaven

Last week the most remarkably normal thing happened. I went for a walk in Amalfi with my husband. Normal because we've done that together countless times over the past eight years. Remarkable because it was the first time we've done that since last autumn when he got sick. While his recovery process ...

Winter Rest on the Amalfi Coast

I don't get the winter blues as the change of seasons just feels right to me. I enjoy watching the way the light shifts and the color palette of nature takes on more muted hues. Gone are the bright bursts of orange beach umbrellas against the expansive blue sky, the brilliant glow of hot pink ...

Amalfi Coast Travel Sunset Winter in Amalfi

The Golden Hour

Amalfi glows in the evening light. This is true all year long, but it's especially so during the golden hour just before sunset in the winter. Looking east, the cascade of buildings above the Hotel Luna watchtower take on a gorgeous hue. If I could paint, I would sit up here in the evenings and ...

November Snow on the Amalfi Coast

Yesterday morning we awoke to a wintry surprise ... snow! A cold front blew down from the mountains overnight and left a light dusting of snow at the highest elevations along the Amalfi Coast. Even at the top of Scala the cars were covered with a slushy white covering we don't see all that often ...

Sugar Snow on the Amalfi Coast

It's March already, and that means it's time to start looking for those sunny and warm early spring days to start coming. I hear my daffodils are blooming quite happily this year, which means they survived the move across the garden last year just fine. I hope there will still be a few bright yellow ...

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! 🏈
