April 11, 2017: Positano Days

Not a good start as Jim found a head cold and lost his hat yesterday. 

Tina goes for drugs, we wash clothes (a nice extra from renting a house!) and we watch the clouds come and go. We feel we are part of the village now as we wave to the people serving us at meals, the family that owns the boat rental, the people from the shops. None of us remember folks remembering us after the purchase is done but all of the folks here not only wave but stop, ask how we are enjoying our day and general talk of people you know. 

We have another incredible day at our favorite restaurant and Jim leaves early to grab some food for tomorrow before they close. We order a pizza half cooked and Krim, Tina and me head up the hill to our house. We pass the grocery store and of course it is closed for the day, however, we see Amelia, the owner and she waves. Amelia is a sweetheart and helps get exactly what you want in this tiny but fully stocked store. We ask if Jim has been there, "Yes she says, he got milk and orange juice": "Did he also get Yogurt" we ask, "Si, Si" says Amelia, he got Yogurt". "Grazie Amelia, Buonanotte". 

 

Jim and Amelia have a special thing going and Jim lets no one else do the shopping. Jim will miss those daily stops to see Amelia. A little glass of wine, another look at the full moon raising over the hills of Poisitano and off to bed.
