The wanderlust which lives inside my head longs to visit Italy, not all of the country, just the Amalfi Coast. Although I’m somewhat of a “mixed breed”, the Italian portion of what makes me…me…overrides the British/Irish part of my heritage.
Photographs of the beautiful towns of Amalfi, Positano, Atrani, Sorrento, Minori, Cetara, Nerano, Erchie, Ravello, Tramonti, and Praiano, rarely fail to take my breath away as I do some armchair traveling. To walk the twisted hillside streets, enjoy the best regional foods and soak up the magnificence of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Gulf of Salerno…well, that is a never-ending dream of mine; sadly, one I doubt will ever come to pass.
Thoughts of enjoying a Delizie al Limone, Limoncello, shopping for artwork and ceramics, relaxing on some of the beautiful beach areas, all dance in my head but…that’s where they will stay, at least for now. Who knows? The opportunity to fly those (hopefully) friendly skies might just present itself before my ride around the sun comes to an end.
I’m half-packed and ready, just in case.
