A postcard from San Vincenzo

The sea in winter always gives me beautiful emotions, and, at the same time, it makes you pensive and relaxed.

To choose this postcard, I worked out a complicated algorithm: I opened the photo archive on my phone, scrolled my finger very quickly, and then stop it on a random photo! Here is the chosen photo. 😬

Joking aside, I'm sorry, but after 12 days of COVID, locked indoors in quarantine, my creativity is at an all-time low.

As luck would have it, though, I randomly picked a photo that perfectly represents my mood now: the sea in winter, a sunset in San Vincenzo (LI). The sea in winter always gives me beautiful emotions, and, at the same time, it makes you pensive and relaxed.

If I remember correctly, I took this photo on 1 January 2017, my first time visiting the town. I have always enjoyed taking a trip out to the coast on the first day of the year as if it were a ritual to start anew. And this is exactly what I need now.

A visit to San Vincenzo is always a good excuse to eat at La Perla del Mare, Deborah Corsi's restaurant. I generally don't eat fish, except that prepared by Deborah. 😁 [Giulia is not very happy about this!]

Rummaging my archive, I also retrieved two photos from that wonderful lunch.

If I've got you in the mood, we also have a little guide to the Costa degli Etruschi on the blog.
