smells of a lemon and limoncello

The main street of Amalfi is not long, but slightly an uphill road. Along with the street, there are several souvenir shops that make lots of small bottles of limoncello laying on big baskets. Some, which deals with some groceries, also have some large yellow lemons on the shelves inside the store. Under early July sun shining, the reflected sun-light from the bottles is giving the passengers, mostly tourists, irresistible summer spectrum.


Walking through an allay, I just look up the slope and more over, look up the windows of four- or five- story old and white buildings standing crowdedly with each other. A girl with light brown hair comes from one of the windows. She seems to look down the shining sea. The dry wind coming from the far away cliff blows her brown hair lightly.
Maybe, she may think about taking a ferry leaving this la penisola sorrentia (sorrento peninsula) to go to the capital, or just think about hefty homework of her junior high or high school during this summer vacation.


Here is Amalfi, its summer colors are yellow lemon and sea blue. Of course, the sky is high, enough.
