Man, what a day! I woke up in Recale, and let me tell ya, this place is a trip. It’s like a hidden gem on the Amalfi Coast, but with a twist. You got the stunning views, the crazy narrow streets, and the locals who are just as colorful as the buildings.
So, I’m strolling down Via Roma, right? Just minding my own biz, thinking about my clients and their drama. Then BAM! I bump into this old dude selling lemons. Like, seriously, who sells lemons on the street? But these weren’t just any lemons. They were HUGE! I’m talking about lemons the size of my head. I’m like, “Dude, what’s your secret?” He just grins and says, “Sunshine and love, my friend.” I’m like, “Okay, I need that in my life.”
Then I hit up the local café on Via San Giovanni. I order a cappuccino, and the barista, this young guy with wild hair, spills half of it on me. I’m soaked! I’m standing there, looking like a drowned rat, and he’s like, “Sorry, mate!” I’m trying to be cool about it, but inside, I’m fuming. I mean, come on! I just wanted my caffeine fix!
After that, I decide to take a walk by the coast. The view from the Lungomare is breathtaking. The sea is all sparkly, and the sun is shining. I’m feeling good, ya know? But then, outta nowhere, this seagull swoops down and steals my sandwich! Like, really? I’m just trying to enjoy my lunch, and this feathered thief decides it’s his lucky day. I’m yelling, “Hey! That’s mine!” But he’s already flying away, sandwich in beak.
I’m getting angrier by the minute. I mean, who knew seagulls could be such jerks? I sit down on a bench, trying to calm down. I start people-watching. There’s this couple arguing in Italian, and it’s like a scene from a movie. They’re waving their hands, and I’m just sitting there, munching on my backup snack—an apple. Not as exciting as a sandwich, but hey, it’s better than nothing.
Then, I decide to head to the local market on Via delle Rose. It’s bustling with life! Fresh veggies, fruits, and all these cute little stalls. I’m in heaven. I grab some fresh pasta and a bottle of local wine. I’m thinking, “Tonight’s gonna be a good night.” But then, I overhear this lady talking about her cat. Apparently, it’s a “psychic cat.” I’m like, “What?!” A psychic cat? I can’t even.
I finally make it back to my place, and I’m exhausted. I flop on the couch, thinking about my day. It was a rollercoaster, for sure. I’m laughing at the lemon guy, the coffee spill, and the seagull. Recale is wild, man. It’s got this energy that’s just... alive.
But then, I remember my clients. The struggles, the breakthroughs. It’s all part of the gig. I love being a psychologist, but some days, it’s a lot. I think about how I can help them navigate their chaos, just like I navigated my day.
So, yeah, Recale, you’ve got my heart. You’re quirky, chaotic, and full of surprises. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. Just maybe, keep the seagulls away from my food, okay?
