Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi, Capri... simply stunning. All of them, each of them. We so wanted to wander into the breathtaking village of Ravello nestled so high in the cliffs it's said to be dizzying, but winding down our final day we decided instead to stay close and take in the sights and sounds of glorious Positanto one last time. It was a good decision.
Gelato, our daily indulgence, one last time. I will never forget the look on her face after she licked this strawberry cone to it's drippy tip, and just as her Daddy dropped it in the nearby trash can to avoid a sticky mess, her chin instantly began to quiver and she couldn't hold back the tears. Devastation. What's a Mama to do? Console with the offer of more gelato, of course. A scene forever etched into my heart.
All better.
We walked down to the black stone beach and dipped our toes in the waves, tossed rocks into the water like wishes, breathed a final prayer of gratitude for these beautiful days of wonder. For togetherness without distraction. For soul-healing aqua waters and a tiny girl's first big adventure. For enchanting moments of watching her kick a ball with a boy from the UK in the shadow of an ancient cathedral and toss bread crumbs with a tiny Italian into a centuries old fountain full of goldfish, their only shared language that of giggles and joy.
For the moments, the meals, the celebration of life and love. The garden walks and seaside picnics. The long strolls with espresso and pastries and sound of thunder rolling in from the the ocean. For the quiet. For the cliffs. For the life pulsing through our veins.
And above all for the vivid reminder that all creation sings His praises, that He is the author of beauty, that this life is a gift beyond what we can conceive, so let us treat it as such.
Grateful. So grateful.
{Thanks for coming along on this journey with us! This post wraps up our Amalfi Coast adventure, but I'll revisit it again shortly to share a bit more about the B&B where we stayed. We've had a ton of questions and it's simply too incredible not to share. If you wanted to know more, keep an eye out!}
