This week's Waterside Wednesday blog is a natural for me. Only a week or so ago, I was enjoying life sul mare (on the water).
(Positano beach)
While exploring Italy's Amalfi Coast, I stayed in Vietri Sul Mare, a little town famed for its hand-painted ceramics...

and its active fleet of small fishing boats.

Most mornings, I would stroll along the narrow streets of Vietri with my trusty camera.

If I woke up early enough, I'd sometimes see the fishermen stocking up on food for the day or tending to a last minute equipment check.

But even if I decided to sleep in, I could see the water from my bed!

Mercy, what a positively dreamy place to plant yourself for awhile. That view is to die for. More please :-)
I think I am going to have to tempt my hubby with your blog post.
I think that trip would be wonderful.
Lucky you

How beautiful! I can just imagine wandering around those streets. Can't wait to see more.

Don't forget to show him my previous post with photos of Italian food. I'll be posting about the desserts (sigh) next week.
The view from your bed? That would have been enough for me...I might not have left to explore the rest of this beautiful place!

This is so great! I didn't know that there was an actual place with the name Vietri when I featured Vietri Dinnerware..., you might get a kick out of it, here's the link: Two Women inspired by Italy's Amalfi Coast.
It looks so gorgeous..., and I'm going to add a link from that post to yours.
Your wonderful photos not only inspire me to visit the Italian seacoast, which I've already wanted to do, but to start up my ceramics again. I used to make hand painted ceramic tiles in my younger years and they were always one of my favorite projects. Now if I can just combine the what and the where....
Oh my, these photos just take my breath away and transport this land-locked Okie to a spectacular vista filled with sea, sand, salt and sun! Lovely.
What a BEAUTIFUL place!!!
Wow.... I am in Italian heaven.... your photos are stunning....
Love the one of the cliffs and the ocean... gorgeous...
Cant wait to see more ....

Hi Barbara,
Oh goodness- what a beautiful place to visit and photograph and wander around taking in the beauty and food.
Glad that you figured out Mr. Linky - I am working on figuring it out so I can participate in your Waterside Wednesdays. Sounds like lots of fun.
Have a great week.
Blessings,
Erin
This is a dream! Barbara-what a wonderful trip.
Mama Mia!!! The ceramics-Majolica? Probably...I don't think they use any lead-glazes now?
So happy you got to do this....

WOW!!! Your photos of your trip are AMAZING & truly breathtaking!!!
I know pictures just dont do it justice. ;) Jenn

And there's no possible way I could've given up that breathtaking view from the hotel window without some serious pouting.
