Ciao, Bella
View of Spiaggia Grande - Positano There are a few places in this world that have left indelible impressions on my life. And, on the top of that list is Positano. Nestled discretely along the Almafi Coast, this picturesque fishing village cascades down the mountainside to the azure-colored sea like Bougainvillea on a trellis. It is here that I learned the true meaning of "la dolce vita". Although, it had been 10 years since my first encounter, I returned last week for a long overdue sejour. Amidst the Campanian wines, the rocky beaches and the energetic locals, I renewed my love. John Steinbeck once wrote; "Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." To this sentiment I would like to add, Positano not only reveals its underlining beauty once you are gone but it continues to call you back long after like a Siren of the Mediterranean Sea.
