Hi Miss, <BR> <BR>The beauty of the coast is hard to put into words. When I first went I just stood there in awe. I based in Sorrento which turned out to be a real favorite with me. I can't wait to go back and I am sure that you will feel the same about the area once you have returned home. Thankfully memoirs are forever. Have fun!

I think the Big Hoo-Haa created the rest of the earth first, as practice for the Amalfi Coast. :~) <BR> <BR>*Why* is it so gorgeous? Because it's nature combining with the human touch to create a work of art. It's the way the cliffs plunge -- seemingly almost vertically -- into the sea. It's the way that a town like Positano spills down the hillside as if it's growing, organically, out of those same cliffs. <BR>It was everything we thought it would be.

I saw the Amalfi coast only once [40 years ago!] The color of the water was like nothing I've seen since---breathtakingly azure blue-green. Luckily, my slides still show that color. Pollution could have changed that by now, who knows?
