Salerno to the Amalfi Coast: Walking the Path of the Lemons
A day trip from Salerno took us by ferry to Minori, then on foot along the Path of the Lemons to Maiori. Between terraced hillsides, sea views, lemon groves, countless stairs, limoncello spritzes, sorbet and lemon pasta, it was a peaceful taste of the Amalfi Coast that felt worlds away from Naples.
Naples: Chaos, Contrasts and Pizza Worth the Trip
Three nights in Naples gave us noise, traffic, contradictions, crumbling streets, grand architecture and some of the best pizza we’ve ever eaten. We never quite fell in love with the city, but Naples felt unapologetically authentic — a place worth experiencing once, even if we were ready to leave when the time came.
Ten Days in Florence: Food, Art and the City Between the Sights
Ten days in Florence gave us time to look beyond the crowds and famous sights. Between late dinners, local markets, Tuscan food, the Uffizi, quiet side streets and evenings along the Arno, the city slowly became familiar again — less like somewhere we were visiting and more like somewhere we briefly knew how to live.
