Chiesa del Soccorso, Forio

​Evening all. Sometimes you really feel like you're having a long day and if you're feeling like that today there's a very good reason for it. This is in fact the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, the official first day of summer and International Yoga Day all rolled into one! Tonight the sun will be setting at 20:38 precisely(ish) and what better place to witness it than the beautiful Chiesa del Soccorso in Forio and the subject of today's photo. While enjoying the latest sunset of the year you can also take part in a free, open-air yoga session just outside the church. Things will be getting underway there at 7:30pm so if you fancy joining in just take a towel or a mat, find yourself a nice spot and follow the moves of the instructors. If you do happen to find yourself in Forio tonight then you may as well stick around a bit later as Thursday night is also the "Borgo in Festa" night in Forio when there's a weekly music festival that takes place in little pockets around the town. I think I'll pop down myself to soak up some of the atmosphere and hopefully get some photos of the sunset Yoga session. On to matters meteorological, we're getting to that stage of the year when there's very little to report as it's just boring old hot and sunny. I'll try to bring you some news of a light breeze or sudden rain shower over the next few days but I make no promises on that. Temperatures from now through to the weekend should range between a maximum of 26°C (79°F) and a minimum of 20°C (68°F) in the early hours. Ok I'd better get my skates on if I'm going to be in time for that sunset so I'll be back with more soon. Ciao :-)
