Down by the row of fishing boats in Amalfi’s harbor this pretty orange and white cat is a regular fixture. She’s looked after and waits for the fishermen when they come back into port. I walked by the other day and she was curled up asleep in a pile of fishing ropes. 🐈

Today is the summer festival for Sant’ Andrea and it’s usually the biggest celebration of the year in Amalfi. This year due to COVID-19 it all looks very different. Although there was no procession and the fireworks over the sea at night were canceled, the celebrations inside the church continued. The large 18th-century bust statue of Sant’ Andrea is only on display twice a year for the festivals. You can see it sitting behind the altar to the left. I visited the Duomo this morning and shared some photos on my story today. (If you miss it, check out my Sant’ Andrea highlight as I saved it there too.) Summer without Sant’ Andrea in Amalfi feels odd, so I’m glad I went this morning to visit the Duomo!

Last Sunday and this morning we’ve spent some time at the beach in Amalfi’s port. The water is calm, the breeze perfect, and it hasn’t been very crowded making it possible to find a spot to throw down our towels for a bit of (socially distanced) sunshine. The water is still a bit too cool for me to swim much, but it’s refreshing. 💦

After spending over a decade living in the mountains in Scala, for me the Amalfi Coast is just as much lush green as it is the blue of the sea. This was the view today from Scala looking across the valley to Ravello. Such beautiful June days!

This morning I ran down to the square to get a package and since it wasn’t heavy I went for a short walk along the port. Distracted by the crazy wind while walking along the Darsena pier, it took me a minute to notice something was different. Look ... beach chairs and umbrellas set up! The restaurant and beach club @ristorante_stellamaris has opened for the season. The chairs are spaced out following the new guidelines. It’s reassuring to see the colors of summer life returning to Amalfi!

Just recently I discovered that every weekend the @larepubblica newspaper publishes a special section called Robinson (inspired by the book Robinson Crusoe) dedicated to art, books, exhibits, and cultural topics. I think I’m in love. Last weekend’s edition was themed around the idea of traveling, but without moving. A perfect topic for these days. I made a cup of tea in the mug I got on Procida while researching my book and settled in for a good read. Very excited to have something that captures my interest to read more in Italian. Thanks @robinson_repubblica!
