High Water In Salerno

The other interesting event I noticed in Salerno last Friday. High water in the sea. I don't know if it is normal. I have never seen it so high.

As always I came in the city too early to go in our museum, so I visited all the places I like, before. Those are one or 2 bars and the seafront. Second bar, in the photo, where the owner is a great friend of all members of the museum. I go there if after the walk I have time else. Unfortunatelly I noticed that the barmen is afraid to speak with me: when other persons entered the bar he wanted to show that he does not know me and did not speak with me. Well, I understand him. It's not normal for Italians in Campania to speak friendly with a strange woman. Specially with a foreign woman. Sometimes I forget about it and my behaviour is too friendly for local tastes... Probably I have to forget about this bar. Because I went there to have a talk with a person I know.

This time when I came on the seafront I noticed suddenly very high waves. They covered the stones posted to protect the seafront. Normally they are open. So, I tryed to make a photo of the wave with my cell.

Than I sunk my eyes and saw that a sort of snack bar where I was, was washed with waves and the water was near it's terrace.

Finally I went to look down where the water has not obstacles and... Imagin that here the water normally is about 2 meters lower! Incredible!
My husband watched TV-news where somebody filmed the high waves that carried off a man from the seafront!

What a terrible weather is this winter!
