LA PRIMAVERA A CAPRI 

La primavera è tornata! Sulla ns bellissima isola di #CAPRI sbocciano infinite varietà di fiori ,684 specie di piante censite sull’isola azzurra. Oggi vogliamo informarvi sulla Ginestra (Spartium junceum) La Ginestra fiorisce a Capri ogni anno da maggio a giugno. Sull'Isola sono diverse le specie appartenenti alla famiglia delle #Ginestre, come la ginestra spinosa con venature vermiglie e quella con i fiori giallo intenso. Tra maggio e giugno le colline dell’isola si coprono  di un colore giallo solare, e si avverte nell’aria l’odore delle ginestre misto al delicato profumo delle rose. Numerosi campi di ginestre si localizzano prevalentemente sul #monteSolaro La ginestra è la pianta simbolo  dell’ #isoladicapriCapri anche perché’ In questo periodo sull’isola  si manifesta  la devozione religiosa  verso i loro santi protettori: San Costanzo a Capri (il 14 maggio) e Sant’Antonio ad Anacapri (il 13 giugno).   La Ginestra e’ stata adoperata nel corso della storia caprese  anche per le sue qualità tessili , è ' possibile ricavare fibre tessili da entrambe le specie.Anche i Romani la usavano come pianta da fibra per produrre stuoie, corde ed altri manufatti . La fibra che viene estratta dall’arbusto è molto simile a quella del lino e della canapa. Anche a #Pompei veniva utilizzata per la realizzazione di abiti, che sono stati trovati negli scavi. Ai giorni nostri dobbiamo anche affermare che Nel periodo fascista, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, c’era una notevole carenza di materie prime e la produzione di fibra di ginestra ebbe un grande successo sull’Isola di Capri, prevalentemente nel settore dell’arredo 1936Oggi  la ginestra per  il mondo della moda, sempre alla  continua ricerca di materiali sempre  più  sostenibili  e con un grande vantaggio ambientale, non è solo una pianta naturale bellissima, ma che è anche molto utile e sicuramente sara’ una delle fibre tessili del futuroSpring is back!

[yourboatholiday]

Why is the Castellammare di Stabia Marina the Best Choice if you Desire to Sail and Discover the Gulf of Naples?

Probably still little known internationally, the city of Castellammare di Stabia and its marina are becoming increasingly popular as locations for boaters wishing to navigate the Campania archipelago and/or the Amalfi Coast.

This is due to its strategic geographical position to the Gulf of Naples and also to its proximity to some world-famous tourist sites such as Pompeii.

CONTACT US FOR YOUR CHARTER FROM CASTELLAMMARE DI STABIA

Where is this marina located? How to reach it?

The city of Castellammare di Stabia and its marina are located south of the city of Naples in southern Italy. It overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea and is set on the coastal stretch of the Gulf of Naples, between the volcano Vesuvius and the Sorrento peninsula.

This southern Italian town can be easily reached either by car or train or by air. By car, it is necessary to take the highway towards Naples – Reggio Calabria. By train, again from Naples, it takes the Naples – Gragnano line and gets off at the Castellammare di Stabia stop.

However, the most comfortable mode is the plane. It is indeed possible to land at Naples Capodichino International Airport, located a few kilometers from both Naples and Castellammare di Stabia, and then reach the marina by taxi in a few minutes.

What services does Castellammare di Stabia offer to its customers?

Marina di Stabia tourist port is one of the best equipped and organized in the entire Neapolitan archipelago. It boasts 871 berths for boats up to 100 meters in length and depths on the quay up to 6 meters deep.

The quay is equipped with columns for the supply of electricity from 16 to 400 Amps and free Wi-Fi while mooring assistance is guaranteed 24 hours a day.

Among its services, Marina di Stabia is equipped with a restaurant, a launderette, a gym, and a play area for children as well as a convenient secure car park with 1,000 spaces complete with luggage trolleys.

At customers’ request, the marina provides transfers to and from Capodichino airport or to the Naples central railway station.

Why choose Castellammare di Stabia as a starting point?

In our opinion, Marina di Stabia is an ideal port for those boaters who, in addition to enjoying the sea and the famous places that overlook it, do not want to miss the nearby archaeological areas of Pompeii and Herculaneum or the fabulous gulf panorama seen from the top of Vesuvius or Mount Faito, both reachable in a few minutes by means of a suggestive funicular or an organized trip with off-road vehicles.

VIEW ALL THE BOATS BASED IN CASTELLAMMARE DI STABIA

What places and attractions can you visit nearby?

Pompeii

This famous archaeological excavation site is located a short distance from the city of Castellammare di Stabia and can be reached in a few minutes by taxi from the tourist port.

Famous throughout the world, these are the archaeological excavations of two entire cities from the Roman era which in the year 79 AD were completely buried by the eruption of a volcano.

Today it is instead a majestic open-air museum that every year gives new discoveries and that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Vesuvius

Vesuvius is one of the active Italian and European volcanoes. Due to its proximity to the population that lives and inhabits its slopes, it is also considered one of the volcanoes with the highest risk and therefore is constantly monitored.

The entire area, now part of the Vesuvius National Park, is nevertheless safe enough to be traveled by trekking lovers along its 11 paths for a total length of 54 kilometers.

The most coveted of these trails is certainly the one that leads up to the “Gran Cono”, the summit of the volcano, to experience the unique experience of walking along the crater of an active volcano.

Mount Faito

For all the inhabitants of the Sorrento peninsula, the mountain has only one name, Faito. This mountain, about 1400 meters high, is the highest point of the Lattari Mountains and marks the beginning of the Sorrento peninsula. It is a very popular destination especially in summer when it represents an escape from the hot and sultry days of the Italian summer.

The easiest way to reach the summit is to take the funicular that leaves from the station of Castellammare di Stabia.

What beauties can you reach by sailing from Castellammare di Stabia?

Sorrento

Sorrento is much more than a seaside resort. This town is the beating heart of the peninsula that bears his name and ideally is the gateway to the Amalfi Coast.

In addition to a historic center full of streets teeming with life, between bars, restaurants, and shops, Sorrento is full of historic villas that can be visited such as Villa Comunale, a unique beauty mansion characterized by a 5-star panorama.

The famous “Deep Valley of the Mills” is also worth a visit. It is a bed of a river now disappeared that once reached the sea where a mill was built for grinding wheat. The business continued until the early 1900s and then interrupted. The result is that dense vegetation has taken over the area, almost completely covering the traces of the activities that took place there (there was also a sawmill, a tuff quarry, and several caves used as cisterns for collecting rainwater). All in the historic center of Sorrento.

Capri

Capri has always been associated with glamorous and elite tourism even though it owes its fortunes to cruise tourism and day trips by tourists arriving from Naples and other coastal cities.

As for the things to do, one cannot fail to start with the magnificent Blue cave. An authentic wonder that can be visited with special boats.

Having a stop in its famous square is almost an obligation. You don’t need to stay long, just the time for a coffee is enough to savor the authentic life and the panorama of this beautiful town.

With 589 meters above sea level, Monte Solaro is instead the highest peak on the island. The easiest and most comfortable way to get to the top is the chairlift located in Vittoria square in Anacapri. From here you can enjoy a unique view that embraces the two gulfs of Naples and Salerno, the island of Ischia, and the legendary Faraglioni.

The latter is precisely the icon of Capri in the world. Do not miss the opportunity to circumnavigate them with your boat!

Amalfi Coast

This coast stretch is probably one of the most famous in the world. It is located along that promontory that extends towards the Tyrrhenian Sea and which is characterized by steep cliffs, cobalt blue sea and some world-famous towns.

If you’re wondering what is the reason for such fame, well it’s difficult to put into words. The place’s atmosphere, its landscapes, and its millenary history, combined with exceptional typical cuisine, can only give you an idea of ​​what awaits you.

What better way to visit it than with a boat trip?

Just mentioning the main villages to which a visit is a must such as Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Furore, and Vietri Sul Mare. It is then worth climbing to the top of Ravello to enjoy a breathtaking view.

... in this beautiful place and I’m really sad about it. Three months a go, I was very anxious about the weather, being in a foreign place, and going without the comfort of my home, or my family and friends, but as I look back at all the adventures I’ve gone on, and the friends that I’ve made along the way, all those things that I was worried about just made the experience more surreal. 

I’ve been blessed with this wonderful opportunity to make one of my dreams a reality. Granted, I was forced to explore beyond the boundaries of my comfort zone, and do things that I’ve never done before. I’ve encountered challenges, faced some of my biggest fears (traveling alone to Venice to meet a friend, taking a chairlift to see the views of the Amalfi Coast from Mount Solaro even though I’m scared of heights, or taking multiple boat rides in a day even though I have motion sickness), and have truly grown as an individual because of these new experiences. I’ve become more independent, and more confident in myself in my ability to make my own decisions, trust my own instincts, and to adapt and adjust to survive in a foreign place. 

I’ve learned so much these past three months about the Italian culture, the history of Florence and various other places I’ve visited, and about who I am as an individual. Florence, and the memories I’ve made throughout these three months will always have a special place in my heart. 

This week I went to LdM’s farewell dinner at the museum (they had a buffet, a dj, and they served wine!), my friends and I walked around the Duomo very late at night just to admire its beauty, ate gelato at Venchi’s, and enjoyed a few drinks with my very close friends. This is my last weekend in Italy, and though I am very stressed out about finals, and my grades, I plan on making the most out of it.

Take a trip to Italy’s Amalfi Coast

The beauty of Positano continues from the beach all the way up into the mountains. (Photos by Jennifer Fauci)

Azure and turquoise seas, colorful homes peppered across the mountains and lemon trees at every turn. It’s not heaven, it’s Italy. Romantic and beautiful in every way, the Amalfi Coast stands out as one of the best examples of a true Mediterranean landscape. And while there is never a bad time to see this gorgeous country, if you had a choice, I would choose the summer, especially if your travels take you to Southern Italy and the province of Salerno.

Similar in beauty (and perfect for hiking through the five towns of Riomaggiore, Portofino, Vernazza, Manarola and Monterosso al Mare) is Cinque Terre, a string of centuries-old seaside villages along the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. I have been fortunate to have explored both dreamy locations, but at the edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula, you will get the very best that Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento and Capri have to offer.

Amalfi

If your journey begins in Amalfi, start by learning about the maritime history of this seaside town. The Arsenale della Repubblica was Amalfi’s center of shipbuilding from the mid-11th century. Today, it is the only well-preserved medieval shipyard in Southern Italy. If you fancy a bit of religious history, visit Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea/Duomo di Amalfi, where Saint Andrew’s, the patron saint of Amalfi, relics are kept. If you’re one for adventure, take a hike up the Valle delle Ferriere to experience four miles of lemon trees, vineyards, waterfalls and alluring views of the city and the sea. Satiate your hunger with a belly full of fresh seafood and a glass of limoncello.

Positano

Next up, Positano, the most popular town on the Amalfi Coast. Stay in an Airbnb or bed and breakfast in the mountains if you can and wake up to the loveliest of views every morning. Positano is a beach town with Spiaggia Grande as the main beach and Fornillo Beach as the other area to relax among colorful rows of umbrellas. While many of the beaches are public, you will most likely have to pay for a chair or umbrella, rated by the hour. For lunch, shop for fresh produce among the roadside stands or enjoy a meal alfresco with plenty of options near the sea. After soaking up the sun, take a walk to Positano’s Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, a storied church that features a 13th century Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary. The church’s majolica-tiled dome can be seen from Positano’s highest point. For dinner, head over to Via Cristoforo Colombo and take your pick of restaurants that offer sunset views of the mountains. My favorite is Ristorante Bruno, where the only thing better than the food is the scenery.

Sorrento

Continuing further down the coast, a stay in Sorrento is a favorite of many as it is the perfect blend of beach and town life. Facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula, Sorrento is known for sweeping water views and Piazza Tasso, a café-lined square. Visit the small sandy stretch of beach that is Marina Grande and then take in that same view while overlooking a cliff.

Up for a little romance? The Cloisters of San Francisco are without a doubt one of the most magical and romantic spots in Sorrento and at night, sip an espresso (cappuccinos are reserved for the morning in Europe) and people watch as you listen to live music and street performances in the square. As glass is to Venice, wood is to Sorrento and if you are going to bring back anything from Sorrento, let it be wood. The inlaid woodwork is meticulously detailed and mesmerizing. From picture frames and jewelry boxes to dining room tables and decorative art pieces, the intricacy involved in these pieces are met with hard work and passion from family-owned shops that go back several generations.

Capri

In my opinion, Capri is the perfect day trip. Take the ferry over from Sorrento and spend the day on this breathtakingly beautiful and chic island, home to the famed Grotta Azzurra or Blue Grotto. Start at the bottom with a boat tour around the island. There are plenty of companies in the marina that offer tours, but a boat captained by a local is the way to go. It’s less of a tourist ride packed with passengers and more of a private lesson about the town.

On the aquatic ride, you’ll likely pass the Grotta Bianca, Grotta Verde, Grotta Azzurra (you can take a separate tour and go inside the grotto on your own rowboat if you wish) and the faraglioni, Capri’s most iconic sight of three towering rock formations that jut out from the sea. Legend has it that lovers who kiss while passing under the rocks will be blessed with good luck.

Make your way up to the top of Anacapri, which is located on the slopes of Mount Solaro, accessible by bus and then a chairlift. For a few euro, the single-seated cable car ride is a bit daunting at first as you dangle hundreds of feet above the ground, but once the fears subside and you reach the top, reward yourself with gelato, lemon slushies and some of the most incredible photo opportunities you will ever experience in your lifetime. As for shopping, the uniquely colorful Capri watch is a popular buy as are bathing suit cover ups and authentic Italian leather sandals.

The Amalfi Coast is best accessed from Rome or Naples. From Naples, it is about one hour on the local Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento. Take the Sita bus (it’s about €2 per person for a bus ticket) and you won’t be disappointed in the stunning vistas at every turn. As for souvenirs, the Amalfi Coast and entire Campania region is known for its lemons and hand-painted ceramics, so limoncello and ceramic dinnerware or tiles are perfect trinkets to bring home to family and friends.

So grab your sunnies, a floppy hat and the most colorful swimwear you own and embark on the dream vacation that is the Amalfi Coast this summer to live la dolce vita.

2̶0̶1̶8̶

Three years ago on New Years, I posted a letter to a boy to tell him everything I never got the chance to say.

Two years ago on New Years, I posted an entry that promised to complain less, appreciate my mistakes, be more patient, and get over a boy that wasn't worth my time.

One year ago on New Years, I posted an entry that detailed my realizations and accomplishments of the year. It was about realizing that many of my limitations are self-imposed and that happiness comes and goes.

So looking back on 2018, I choose not to linger on what things I should’ve done but to hold onto the memories that somehow just felt right:

At 18, I thought about the small apartment party where I chatted and made friends (and fell flat on my back . . .)

At 17, I thought about how I raced my boyfriend through dorm hallways

At 16, I thought about how I hiked in the Blandford Nature Center on my birthday and got mud everywhere

At 15, how I said goodbye to my two best friends at the airport to go to Italy where I found the most beautiful apartment with the most beautiful rooftop view and the most beautiful roommates

At 14, how I went to Fiesole outside of Florence with two classmates I had just met to eat good food and drink good wine and watch the sunset over the city

At 13, how I went to Cinque Terre and swam in Manarola and skinny dipped in Monterosso

At 12, how I went clubbing in Croatia and swimming in Krka National Park

At 11, how I drank orange granitas in Capri and took a chairlift up Mount Solaro

At 10, sleeping in a tent in Interlaken, Switzerland, hiking Harder Kulm, and jumping off waterfalls while canyoning

At 9, traveling to the UP--jumping off Black Rocks, waterfall hopping, and biking around Mackinac

At 8, partying at Kappa Kappa Sig and stealing a random person’s Fireball

At 7, passing Burnett’s and sharing stories around a campfire

At 6, crying about the environment at a tailgate when my boyfriend threw a soda cap on the ground (he preceded to take care of me for the rest of the day)

5, going to cedar point with my boyfriend and getting to know his brother

4, getting on an overcrowded party bus to go to an overcrowded party for Halloween

3, getting into Okelly’s using someone else’s fake ID and two other people using the same fake the same night

2, going to Soaring Eagle for free and eating a lot of good food with a lot of good people

1, partying with three of my favorite people into the New Year--my best friend, my boyfriend, and my brother.

When my flights were delayed, I made friends to pass the time. Despite having lost luggage, annoying “family” (roommate) meetings, problems with my debit card, and waterlogging my phone, I saw more and did more in Europe than I could ever imagine. Even though I fought with my friends this year, my relationships are stronger and more resilient. When classes got hard, I have a strong idea of my future and strong relationships that encourage me. With all my memories, good and bad, I end 2018 with hope and intentions for the New Year . . .

; 0.

**

I’ve always said that my goal is to fall in love: fall in love with a guy, with my friends, with the world and adventures, with my job, and with myself. As new years come and go, I look at how far I’ve come.

I have begun falling in love with myself. With rocking a red velvet dress. With my two new front teeth. With creating a room in my new house that suits my style--with a map and plants and calming colors and a yoga mat in the corner. With choosing a theater minor and learning from people who aren’t scared to make mistakes.

I have begun falling in love with my future career. I got accepted to my major. I became the president-elect of AFSLP. I learned more about traveling speech pathology. And I’m excited to find an internship that helps me continue exploring.

I have fallen in love with the world. With all the places I’ve been able to travel and all the places I’ll go in the future. Someday, I hope to live in a big city, and someday, I hope to live in a beach town. And if I speak it into existence, it becomes true: my future holds many more adventures.

I have fallen in love with my friends. With partying and eating cheese bread and watching the Bachelor. With all the memories they’ve given me, all the care they’ve taken, and all the love they’ve shared.

But mostly, I have fallen in love with my boyfriend. I have found someone who makes my heart at peace. Someone that cooks with me. Someone that carries me to bed when I’m sleepy and feeds me Taco Bell nachos when I’m drunk. Someone that holds me during my nightmares. Someone willing to nap with my friends and I. Someone that dances silly with me at parties. Someone who is very competitive when it comes to mini golf. Someone that lets me throw him off the jetski. Someone I can never get enough of.

**

With everything I’ve learned this year, this coming year, above all else, I am aiming for personal growth.

I want to be more intentional about the things I do in my life. I want to be intentional about my relationships and the people I dedicate my time to. I want to think my food and why I eat what I eat. I want to think about my courses and what things I’m prioritizing in my life. Meaning stems from intentionality and by understanding my actions, they become more meaningful.

I want to be more in touch with intuition. I want to act more instinctively when treating my body with food, rest, and work. I want to follow my intuition to become a better decision maker. I want to ground myself by observing my thoughts, emotions, and cognitive biases without allowing them to control me or dictate my actions.

I want to redefine success in my life. A productive day does not have to be one filled with homework or work. A successful day is accomplishing what I set out to do for that day--whether that’s making a healthy meal or studying or actively taking care of myself.

I want to be more openly communicative about how I’m feeling and learn how to use others as support. I want to use journaling to let go of my thought loops and as a way to organize my thoughts in order to verbally communicate them later.

Once I refine these, I hope to share these ideas with others, continuing to spread love instead of judgements. I forget where, but I heard this quote: “[We must find/be a] glimmer of selflessness against which we can judge the callousness of a world in which love has been sacrificed to economic necessity.” I plan to use this as a reminder to prioritize love in my life and to understand how others may become callous due to greed or to physical necessity--something I have not experienced, and therefore, will not fully understand.

As I go forward . . . here is to remembering that nothing will go exactly as I plan (although this doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t set goals). Here’s to being more intentional in order to become more connected to myself and to the present. Here’s to being more kind and to finding happiness as it flows in and out of my life. Here’s to not to letting my thoughts control me, but to accepting them and releasing them. Here’s to a new year.
