When I die...

...bury me here please. We are back in Amalfi, it feels very dream-like. A tiny town built into the cliffs, KormaCurry & I stumbled upon this town in 2003 and never wanted to leave. We thought one day we would return, but did not know it would possible so soon, thanks to all of the cheap air carriers now. Lemon Groves, vineyards, epic sea views and rocky cliffs that plunge right into the aquamarine sea. The hospitality of the Amalfian people is neverending. Amalfi is where all of the Italian potter's live and create. All of the duomos are multicolored tiles and marble. The cliff towns are full of ceramica painted brightly with designs. The cemetery is high on a cliff with

24-7 candlelight... Need I say more?

Amalfi, here we come...

We visited Amalfi, Italy on a whim in 2004, a tiny, jewel of a town, built into the cliffs. Amalfi Coast is where all of the Italian ceramics are made. The cliff towns in the area have brightly colored tiles on the duomos. Via the Tourismo office, we were hooked up to stay in a family’s home. The family was lovely and so was the stay with a private terrace all to ourselves, where we ate lunch & had vino every night gazing at the sea. The man of the house is from generations of ceramic artists in the area. His art was displayed all over their home. We are headed back to Amalfi in a month…we will visit our friend at her café, eat at our favorite places, take walks amongst the lemon groves, drink the local wine and chill the heck out…One of my top "destinations to see before you die"...
