Pasta, Gelato and Limoncello, Rain or Shine

 Just like at home, it’s a year of unseasonal rain here.  But when the sun breaks through in Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, it’s glorious saturated color everywhere.  Rain or shine, it’s been pasta, gelato and limoncello most every day, not necessarily in that order.  And I even swam twice in the Tyrrhenian Sea.  The Amalfi Coast is storied and bucket-listed all around the world, and I now know why.  There’s a John Steinbeck quote:  “It’s a dream place that isn’t quite real when you’re there, and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone”.
