Happy Monday!! They say a picture is worth a thousand words…I wonder what a thousand pictures are worth? It is taking me forever to go through all my photos from Italy – I am just now getting to the best of the lot – the Amalfi Coast!! I am splitting them into two parts to save you from an overload of Italian beauty (and boring you to death)…Enjoy!
We made a brief stop in Sorrento on our way to Amalfi…just long enough to eat the best pizza of our trip and to know we need to Torno a Surriento soon…
On to the famous Amalfi Drive…
And, ending in paradise…also known as the Hotel Santa Caterina in Amalfi.
After a delicious dinner at the hotel and a good night’s sleep…we woke up to this (yes, this was the view from our balcony!)…
Breakfast views…
Wisteria hysteria…
Not a bad place to chill on a sunny day…
View from the pool
Amalfi
Ravello street scene…
Lemons everywhere…
Beautiful ceramics in every shop but this one was really special…
Villa Cimbrone in Ravello
More wisteria…
Belvedere Terrace at Villa Cimbrone
Views for miles…
Lunch views from Palazzo Avino
Terrace at Palazzo Avino
Palazzo Avino
Hotel Caruso – walkway to pool…
The most beautiful pool in the world…at Hotel Caruso
Where does the pool end and the sea begin at Hotel Caruso?
One can easily make the case that this part of Italy is the most beautiful place on earth…but, then again, we still have Positano and Capri coming up next. Stay tuned!

Sandy, what a welcome post on this rainy, cold day. Every picture make me oooh and aaah and wish that I was in that beautiful spot. Thanks for the mini-vacation. Have a good week.
Your pictures are breathtaking, Sandy! I traveled to that part of Italy many years ago and I would rather go back there than almost anywhere I can think of. I actually stayed at the Hotel Excelsior Vittoria so it was so exciting to see your beautiful photos. And wow – that pool at Hotel Caruso! I am putting that one on my list! Looking forward to the Positano and Capri pics. Enjoy your day!

You know how much I’m loving this post! And, I had no idea there was Wisteria Hysteria, which is a condition I am now feeling!!!! Your photos are magazine worthy, Sandy!
I’ll reach out with a time for us to get together!!!
Tomorrow is Carter’s last day and I’m headed to Hotchkiss!
