If it feels like I've had a stream of nonstop visitors...I have. And it's wonderful! Mom arrived this week and we've made it from Rome to Amalfi in the course of a 2-week trip together. A bit longer in Rome and then off to Greece where, rumor has it, we can ride donkeys.
I don't want to forget my incredible-beyond-words several days in Tuscany...watching Italy play Paraguay at Fifa Fan Village in Villa Borghese...Naples (well, maybe I could forget Naples)...and our firecracker of a hostess Rina at Villa Rina here in Amalfi. I will write more about them later.
Meanwhile, I must say that Amalfi itself strikes me as highly improbable. It is a place out of a zany storybook - pebble beaches, near-misses on drives along perilous cliffs, and buildings that stack up like staircases glued onto the cliffside.
Today we spent the morning in Ravello, looking at beautiful (albeit a bit British) gardens...and the afternoon in Amalfi, watching "Mundial" (the World Cup!).
Tomorrow, off to Lecce!

Love reading your blogs. Looking forward to the next and everyone of them. Hope you and Mom have a great time together. We love you. Helen and Matthew
I think the Amalfi is wonderful, frightening and spectacular. We were in Positano for W,s 16th and F,s 14th bday and when we asked him what he would like to do for his day - "Drive up and down the Amalfi Drive.!" Maybe there are guard rails now, but then it was sheer cliffs.
Glad you are having such fun
Much love.Gma
