Strolling Around Spectacular Sorrento . . .

May 15, 2019

Postcards from Jiles

Wednesday, 15 May 2019

Hello Friends!

Today we arrived on the Amalfi Coast and it sure is pretty and interesting! Sorrento seems extra spectacular — especially compared to where we were yesterday.

We took the tender in to the mainland and that took only a few minutes once we were moving. Pretty neat way to see the coast line. From our port we hopped a complimentary shuttle bus and took it up a (non scary) curvy road for about 5 minutes to the main area.

The shuttle bus drops you at a souvenir shop (that has very nice bathrooms). Evidently, Sorrento is known for an artistic type of inlaid wood. It’s very pretty. They ship. But we didn’t buy anything.

You can tell Sorrento is a quality place. The pedestrian street is filled with nice boutiques, eateries, and pizzerias. Even the shop where we bought the post cards had some nice quality items inside — we bought an artsy decorative ceramic tile. It’s reminiscent of a local home, the landscape, and it has a lemon on it. We also got some nicely wrapped lemon soap for gifts. We walked around a bit then decided to get drinks and Miles had a hankering for cake.

This picture is the calm before the storm. The pigeons in Sorrento are CRAZY! They have no fear of people like they do in the United States. And they’re smart too. You see that tray of complimentary snacks that the Europeans so properly provide you with when ordering drinks. Well . . .

After Miles finished his cake and cappuccino he went to the loo and and I was by myself at the table. A pigeon swooped in, nicking my hair with his wing, put his feet on the snack triplicity and knocked all the snacks to the ground. Then, I swear, he looked at his buddies and nodded. Finally all his buddies flew down for their afternoon snack too. I did this faint kinda scream and was a bit in shock.

Finally, Miles strolled on back to the table. When I told him what happened he looked at me like I was crazy. I think he thought I was being more dramatic than what really took place. Well, guess what, after we were served another set of snacks the pigeons decided to strike again. There were more than the last time and they were flying right next to my head. They were on the table. They were on the floor. They were feasting. They were crazy!

After our experience at the Crazy Pigeon Cafe we decided to stroll around the main shopping street which was all pedestrian. It’s flat and easy walking. We actually wore our espadrilles instead of sneakers today and were just fine!

Tomorrow we’re anchored out of Amalfi. That’s supposed to be really walkable too. Think we’re going to try and get back into Jacques for dinner tonight!

Ciao. Ciao.

Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know “pip pip” mimics the double honk you’d here on a motorcar in the early 20th century? It's an upperclass British coloqualism for farewell.🎩 I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans! And Miles and I visited Highclere Castle — the real life Downton in Yorkshire.📺 It was one of the best days of my life! Full of intention, serenity, gratitude, luxury, playfulness, and beauty.🧚 Pure magic!🪄 Just like life is supposed to be.♥️

I love you! Pip pip. 😘 Gigi

“What’s going on?” I can feel the question i “What’s going on?” I can feel the question in the field as I consciously dropped off social to be more present during our trip to visit Grandma in the American Heartland. 

We’ve been staying with Grandma at her place. Taking her to her favorite spots. And watching lots of Hallmark movies (Miles brought his headphones so he could watch his own stuff on his iPhone. 😂). 

Today was the first time we went to Terra Bloom. And we spent the afternoon. Doing a bit of gridwork. But this trip isn’t about gridwork. It’s about Grandma! 💕

That said. When we were at Terra Bloom. I got a clear message, sitting on the veranda, in the cold, sipping decaf, overlooking the Mighty Missippi, that were to come back for the month of March. So there’s that. 

Some of you know this. Some of you are new. So here’s a bit about Terra Bloom. . . . 

Terra Bloom is a house I bought and renovated 15ish years ago. It became a family home when I got called back to Virginia — which was essentially me getting called back to fulfill my divine union destiny with Miles, who was in Old Town waiting to meet me. lol. 

Terra Bloom is built on what was once a Native American enslavement camp. I did not know that until a few months ago. 

It used to be very overwhelming for me there. Now, I able to live in a state of serenity. But it can still be very intense at times, to say the least. But not today. Not this trip. 

The house, Terra Bloom, the land, the history, and the wisdom is very significant in the tapestry of what we’re doing now as we bridge to the 5th dimension and beyond. And Indigenous roots are extremely potent and powerful in a past life that Miles and I shared where we were again in divine union and grid working. 

It’s all beyond fascinating! And a little mind blowing. 

More on all this later. But for now, back to Hallmark!

😘 Gigi (Miles & Mia)
