Viewed and heard from our balcony at our hotel in Maiori on the Amalfi coast.  We thought our tour guide arranged it.  Or that it was someone’s birthday or anniversary.  Nope.  Just a local group getting together and wandering about making music.  It was really typical of the delightful surprises that awaited us — dare I say, at every turn? — not just along the twisty, windy roads of the stunning coast, but all along the way from Naples/Amalfi/Pompeii northward to Venice, and all the stops in between.

Italy is truly enchanting.  I hope to share more of it with you pending the resolution of the ongoing software problems…
