A summer day in Cinque Terre
Lemons, limoncello, sea food so fresh it’s almost still kicking on your plate. Local boys jumping off small cliffs into the blue sea. Colorful houses and huge parasols. Laundry hanging from windows. The weather: scorching hot. Tanned, fit-looking people strolling around in sports tops and running shorts. Tourists taking photos and eating ice cream in the shade. Children playing on the beach and running around streets with their parents, wearing just their swimsuits. Looked like happy times.
There’s definitely something magical about summer…

Oh dear, this makes me miss summer so much! It’s so cold right now, and only bound to get colder!

Thanks! I can imagine it must look spectacular from a sailing boat! We did a short boat ride which was just so summery

Limoncello = citronelle (in French)? Think so. Hmmmm. 🙂
LikeLiked by 1 person
Good question, I’ve lived in France but citronelle doesn’t ring a bell. Limoncello is a liquer made of lemons. Delicious if cold.

You are absolutely right. had forgotten about limoncello. Delicious. Citronelle = lemongrass. 🙂

is it cold at Cinque Terre in winter, like December? I’ve always wanted to go there, never have…

I don’t know, I think it probably would be. I’ve been around north Italy in the winter and it was chilly. Probably a nice time to visit without the crowds – but maybe not go for a swim? 😄 Thanks for dropping by, Baddie!
